Would you eat this?


My mom grew this totally scary tomato in her garden this summer. She didn't do anything special to it, but it became a serious mutant. The other tomatos from the plant were okay. I wonder what that means? I know I wouldn't want to eat it.

Finished VILAI!

I finally finished my Vilai socks (by Cookie A). They're really beautiful. They took me longer than expected (mostly because I left them languishing in the pile for too long) and I didn't manage to get them done in time for the KAL, but I have them wear in a month or so when it starts to become "sock wearing weather".

They were a little more time consuming than some pattern because I really had to follow the chart carefully, but other than that they weren't all that hard. I stopped half a pattern repeat short in the leg, otherwise they would have been a too tight on my calf, which meant that I used the row 28 cable decrease at the heel, instead of the row 14 decrease.
