Ooo! I just learned how to do applied i-cord edging on a piece I was test-knitting for someone. So cool! And way less tedious (I thought) than when you’re doing plain ol’ i-cord.

Your jam looks yummy! Loving all your blues!

I’ll have to try using limes in my blueberry jam. Does rhubarb grow well in PDX? I grab a frozen quart bag of each and cook the rhubarb while I’m thawing the blueberries. Add semi-thawed mashed berries to rhubarb and proceed with jam-making. The rhubarb really perks it up – we call it Blubarb and it disappears quickly.

Love the jam with a touch of lime. It gives a nice kick to the palette–blueberry alone just doesn’t do it for me, it’s kinda bland.

There is nothing wrong with color monogamy. Blue is such a nice complimentary hue on you.

Resurrecting a old WIP is good for the soul Look forward to seeing it off and modeled

Way to go on the troop knitting.

I concur – a potato masher is the best way for processing fruit for jam! Yum!

I’ve been stuck in blues and purples for a while now – I really need to knit something in any other color!

The jam sounds really good – great combo!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who sometimes gets stuck in one colorway. Ha! The blueberry lime jam sounds divine!

I think we all have a case of the blues! The good kind, not the bad one. That jam sounds delish!

I’m totally addicted to knitting the soldiers’ caps! Thanks for posting about the project. Today I went to Molehill Farm, which is closing in a month from now, and got some Cascade 220 at 40% off. There’s still lots of great stuff left. It didn’t occur to me to modify the hat pattern, although I like your suggestion of 88 stitches and 8 decrease points and will try that on the next hat. Not everyone’s head is the same size and shape.

I think I might invite myself over for a piece of toast to try the jam with lime. mmm, it’s sounds very different and tasty!
