According to Ravelry, I started this thing in May 2008. In other words, it took me 14 months to knit 590 yards of yarn. That's ridiculous, really.

As you may remember the knitting on this was pretty quick, it was the finishing that defeated me. Since I was being stubborn, I threw this in a basket for over a year, refusing to try again. Well finally I got my head out of my a*s and finished it.
TA-DA!
So check out my nice little setup for our dinner party on Saturday. That black&white cloth is from the bargain bin at Forever 21. I bought it as a neckerchief but it was too big, so now it protects my table from that big silver bowl.
One of the perks to being married to a farmer (at least in his youth) is the abundance of fresh fruit we get from his parents this time of year.
Grilled peaches are my new favorite.

Wow, the cami turned out super cute! And I have to agree, the fruit is what I miss from living in the Central Valley. We used to have so much from our family members too. I never bought fruit in the store when I lived there.
