In garden news, we did have a touch of a frost on Saturday morning so I'm quite glad I covered the tender plants in the garden. I didn't cover the cherry tomatoes....but they emerged unscathed. Hardy little guys, aren't they?! My late crop of microgreens should be ready to harvest this coming weekend. Yum. I'm hoping I'll have enough ripe tomatoes to make some tomato sauce--or variations thereof--to freeze, also this weekend. Hmmm, the weekend list of to-dos is starting early.....
I'm back on the road (again), on dial-up, but best of all, with DH for most of the work week. I have been working on the grossgrain ribbon reinforcement for Sonnet this evening to augment what I started on Sunday. The neckline reinforcement is up for tomorrow evening and I hope to be courageous enough to add the buttons. So far, I really like the effect of the ribbon. It is kind of like boning in the bodice of a prom dress. You can't really see it but, gosh, does it do the job! *g* My hand-sewing isn't something I want to share with the blog world but perhaps some photos later this week of the finished sweater. (I am on dial-up until Friday, so I'll have to see how bad the upload time will be.) I also finished sewing my trousers yesterday! Hurray. It was a productive weekend.
Looking forward to photos of a finished Sonnet!

Sewing trousers! Was that in the car while your husband was driving? I'm totally confident with hand sewing, but my machine is smarter than me and there's no way I could make trousers fit! Well done.

I can't wait to see your Sonnet.

Glad you had a great weekend! Looking forward to seeing Sonnet. I've always like button bands reinforced with grosgrain ribbon.
