The afghan yarn arrived last week in all its glory and I finally decided on a first square, the one by Barbara McIntire (below in white).
My progress so far:
I've decided I really like cable knitting quite a bit. Don't get me wrong, nothing is more relaxing than an easy "knitting in the round" project but with cables it is so cool to see the cable pattern start to pop.

| The Sugar Snap Peas are already about an inch tall! |
In other news, we finished planting our fall garden and my eldest is insisting her name is now "Garden", correcting me every time! I've added a box to the right that lists what we are currently growing (beets, carrots, sugar snap peas, kale, broccoli and brussel sprouts). I'm really excited to have fresh beets and carrots to use in our juicer through the winter! The rest of it pretty much gets picked over by the girls as they snack throughout the day and never actually makes it to our kitchen.
Meet Roxanne, Billie Jean and Penny Lane. They're about 4 months old and finally have a place to sleep at night that is NOT a box in our bathroom.

I am so grateful to have friends who can (and are willing to) design and build a chicken tractor!
I still think it is amazing that you have chickens! And that much yarn would be so overwhelming to me, but I guess yarn is your fabric, which to me spells "opportunity"
