I've got lots of fun things planned for the blog this fall. Looking forward to sharing so many projects with you all. Because you asked.... Here are Mittens' kittens taken two days ago. Kitten on the left (Mia) is spoken for. The other three are looking for a home and are available week of September 17.
For those of you loving eggplant, I've got a new recipe up on our Leyden Glen Lamb Website for Eggplant, Lamb and Tomato Stacks. The Farmer (who is not a fan of eggplant) loved this meal. Serve with a side of couscous or grain and a salad. Here is the link.

| Eggplant, Lamb and Tomato Stacks |
I can feel autumn
encroaching. The days are getting shorter, we're thinking about closing
the windows in the evening, and the fall color is starting to happen.
There is still time left to enjoy the shorter days and all that autumn
has to offer - including the cooler weather for knitting and creating.
Here at the farm, I've planned some new classes. Here they are:
September 15, 2012: One Day Retreat
Colorwork For Advanced Beginners - This is the first time for this class and I hope it will tempt some of you who always tell me they can't do colorwork! You can, I promise!
Including Knitting on Double Pointed Needles
Knitting with 2 Colors in the Round
Cutting a Steek
Sewing in a Zipper
Click here for more information on this One Day Retreat. Seven spaces are left. Small class - easy to learn atmosphere. Cost is $225 which includes food and some supplies. Small homework assignment required. You will be able to knit sweater and scarf after you leave!
