Hand Knitting Blog & Knitting Patterns

Of Chainsaws, Knitted Caps and Durian

November 5, 2009 by Mary Jane 4 Comments

Living proof that chainsaw wielding, brush clearing men will sport tasseled caps and caps with cute animals knitted into them. My husband always rolls his hats up if they are not meant to be folded, or does not fold them if they should be. After 20 years I’ve never perfected the hat he will wear as intended, they require his personal tweaks.

Yesterday’s stellar weather had us cleaning up some seaside land in preparation for our friend’s new project. The cute little camp is sadly beyond repair, though we salvaged the shutters for a little fence…I wanted the curtains, dotted red and 60’s stripes, but they fell apart on touch.

And what did another friend bring for lunch? Durian….stinky but good….if a little surprising!

Today? Snow!

    Wow, surprised you were okay with Durian. My husband lived in Singapore for 3 years and he says the stuff smells really really bad. Apparently, in Singapore, it’s illegal to bring them on subways or any other enclosed space! 😉

    Well, it smells kind of bad, but we were outside. It tastes pretty good, like custard onions or something…sweet but odd.
