Tart Cherries

Last weekend I picked up 12 pints of fresh tart cherries from Nichols Farm & Orchard. It took about 2 hours for my spouse and I to pit them with a metal chopstick while we watched movies. Most are now frozen and ready for smoothies. My only regret is not buying more.

Charging into December with only half my gifts crafted, I had to find a simple pattern to make life in Santa’s sweatshop less terrifying. I was rescued by Kristina Olsen‘s Harvard Square cowl.
