Oh, here is my precious homegrown tomato before I ate him! Ahhh, so DELISH!
Since it's hot out, I decided to lighten up and knit with some Cotton Ease again. I had one skein of it leftover from another project in Taupe. I went and got another skein for this Ribbed Bolero pattern I found for free. I saw it here on Andipants' Untangling Knots blogsite first. It sounded great! I cast on a few extra for a bigger size as hers was a small. She gives great directions on her blog on what she did.
And another lightening up story: I tried baking with xylitol this week to see if we could make a reduced sugar cookie worth eating, without using Splenda. We have been using Truvia packets alot for sweetener lately (stevia). I tweaked a recipe around and used xylitol for most the sugar called for, only using 1/4 c. of brown sugar. So my smart husband calculated everything out to be 2.5 grams of sugar per cookie instead of a bazillion.
They didn't come out half bad! I ate 7 of them. oops....

Your tomatoes are probably just like ours. We have one very soon to be ripe one, and it may be November before the rest get ripe. Not really, but they're sure slow due to our crazy weather. Look forward to seeing the completion of your sweater/shrug/bolero. It looks cute.
