Jen’s Boot Camp and Allerton Abbey Experience

After finishing my potholder, I needed a dish scrubber, so I decided to crochet one out of wool, which I’ve never used for a dishcloth before (usually I use cotton, but don’t have any here). It actually seems to work just fine, though.

Aww, Jen!   Shucks, that's just a nice start on some elegant patina! <G>  Or honorable dueling scars. <g>  The walking dead, halt and lame we use around the kitchen here, well, your beautiful little crocheted lady wouldn't let'm into the kitchen! And we don't even have a rocket stove to make life interesting.

Thanks, Rufus! I was so surprised that the rocket stove door got hot enough to scorch wool instantly that I wasn’t even annoyed about my potholder, heh.

We mostly worked on building gates last week—this one ended up needing more counterweight than expected!

Another lovely morning! Ashley is here for the PEP event, and we are really enjoying having her here. She built a wonderful hugel at the Abbey yesterday (which everyone but me got pictures of—I was working on another project)!
