    Awesome seam!
    My strawberries are just barely starting to turn red. Can’t wait.

    Don’t you just love those seams! So great. And the other day we bought a quart of strawberries at the farmer’s market and had almost finished them by the time we got home (a ten-minute walk).

    I love deadheading anything, but an aromatic bouquet would be wonderful.
    Strawberries are such a wonderful spring treat. Good seaming!

    Beautiful all of it. I don’t grow cilantro anymore as it bolts soo fast, but I may rethink this and grow it for the flowers alone! Those seams are the bomb!

    I should grow cilantro. Joe says it makes him happy, so I use a lot of it.

    I love mattress stitch seams. So tidy. So…perfect! Gorgeous blue knitting, too.

    Love the cilantro idea. Everything started smelling wonderful through the pictures. (Even the seam!)

    Beautiful things!

    (just came in from chopping the tops off the chocolate mint…and thinking about how good it would taste with some of your strawberries! ours are still green…)

    Your seam seems perfect!

    You make warm weather living look effortless, and tasty to boot. :)

    Mmm…cilantro! Lovely photos. I wish strawberries were in season here, but we’ve yet to have any real signs of summer.

    Hello! Since I don’t have your email address I thought I’d give a quick response here to your question on my last blog post (regarding cabling without a needle). I added a post script to explain why I don’t use that method, as several readers asked about it (clearly it’s the obvious choice for many knitters!). For some strange reason, I just prefer the needle. I think it’s faster and more satisfying, especially on a project that is literally cabled at every inch. I’m a stubborn duck. What can I say. :) I use the needle-less method if I just have a few cables here or there, but I really do like my cable needle. It makes me happy.

    Oh, look at those amazing seams! I love the ‘magic’ of seaming!

    Thanks for sharing the loves of the day…makes me think of my own!
