I missed a day yesterday because Tetsu and I went out to Mashiko, the pottery town again. We weren't really planning to go that way but that was the direction we were heading and we ended up wandering around the town again. (And bought NOTHING.)
Lots of pretty buildings. Lots of pretty pottery, some quite expensive. This lovely cherry blossom dish was priced at $500. Hmm, I don't think so. It doesn't go with the rest of the decor in my house which is modern cat.
But look at this neat dish, also too pricey. I think this person has studied making quilting feathers with Tazzie or Elaine.
Just walking up and down the streets made me smile. This was just a little house on the main street with a very round cat sitting on the front step enjoying sites of passersby. This is pretty typical around my area. Gravel driveways, boxes and other things that don't fit in the house "decorating" the outside. Laundry hanging in view of everyone, a pot or two of flowers to brighten the place up a bit.
I came home to knit. Yes knit! This has been an ongoing project since January when I decided to rip apart one of Tetsu's old sweaters and use up some left over skeins of yarn. Tetsu kept asking me "What are you making? It looks like a donut." I started from the neck down so it was a bit of a strange construction. I finished last night. Ta-Da!
Just in time to put away until next winter....

Love the sweater! And sure wish I had all that lovely stacked wood. Great photos!
That pottery is yummy, but that sweater is divine! Had to laugh that you finished just in time to put it away, lol!
Beautiful sweater - all you knitting ladies make me soooo jealous! I can't wear sweaters anyway, here in the Southeast; it never gets cold enough. That pottery town would be very dangerous for me - I love ceramics. The plate with the feather border would be a real temptation. The photo of that house made me smile. We are so careful to not let our actual life show at the front of the house - in the backyard, we let it all hang out!
Such a pretty sweater! That's one thing that will make you look forward to cold weather coming back next fall.
The town looks quite interesting and your sweater is just wonderful!
Interesting pottery town!
Lovely sweater!
Your sweater looks great - I'm envious of your talent. I keep wanting to pull out some knitting or crochet but I always have so much on my to do lists that the quilting wins out.
The sweater is beautiful but especially since it looks so good on YOU! I love driving to vist out of the way places. the pottery town sounds great.
Wonderful sweater! You must be very pleased. :-)
What a beautiful sweater! Now you will be able to look forward to the cool weather that of course will eventually come as you have a warm and comfy sweater to keep you warm.
