Ha. I didn’t know anybody else knew who Brian Doyle Murray was. I remember him as a writer on the old National Lampoon Radio Hour… wasn’t sure what else he has done.

So @thebalvenie how did your bees do this year? My neighbor and the bee club donated hundreds of jars to the local hospitals for their staff. I think they said it was a very good year for honey production this year.

I started a new knitting project this weekend. It’s like those old granny square blankets, you make a piece at a time. It’ll have 13 of these star hexes, 4 half hexes, and some filler triangle pieces. This was knit in the round using 10“ double point needles in a size five.

No, those are usually crocheted. I’m actually more of a cable knitter, but I wanted something that would be airy in the summer months, so I picked a lace pattern. I’ve made blankets for each of my children and they’re all very different. I usually am knitting sweaters.
