The nice people at Jimmy Beans Wool sent me some samples of their new yarn: Yarn Citizen Harmony Worsted, a wool and alpaca blend, made from recycled fibers. I knit up a little something, and now I have thoughts and pictures to share.

I haven’t completed a knit or crochet item in seven months! It took summer to spur me into action. It took the desire for a lacey cotton cardigan to take with me on our casual nights out. And it took wanting something handmade and lovely to throw over my shoulders if the ocean breeze got to be too much.

This is part two of my experiences with Lomochrome Metropolis film. This time I took it on the boardwalk at the Jersey Shore, which is objectively a more appropriate location than the previous place I took it. Come see how it did capturing boardwalk stalls and amusement rides.

Photos from a nice spontaneous evening out, somewhere lovely, not too far from home, and totally doable after a full day at work. It’s such a nice thing, to be able to take advantage of the long days of summer from time to time. With so much daylight available at this time of year, a work day doesn’t have to be *just* a work day. It’s almost like you can fit two days into one. What a terrific bonus!
