Knitting, crocheting and apples

I've been on a roll this past week, finishing a couple of things, and starting new ones, that are almost done. This might be because Mike got a new video game (Tiger Woods golf for the Wii) and has been playing a lot.

Almost finished the Little Bubbles Baby Sweater

I'm also working on some dishcloths as I have a few birthdays coming up.... (no pictures sorry).

Last weekend I was cleaning out the fridge and found that I have a lot of apples. Like more than I will ever eat even if I force myself. These are all from our organics box and were all different types (all local as well!). I decided to make apple sauce in the slow cooker. Recently I had a Pampered Chef party where I got a wonderful apple peeler, corer, and slicer. I tried to add some pears too but they were too soft and the didn't peel right. However after about 10 minutes I had done all the apples, and got them in the slow cooker. 3 hours later the house smelled delicious. And kind of like Christmas. I mushed them up with a potato masher so that there are still chunks in there too. OMG, it was so good, and so easy! Now I just need more buckets to keep it in.... Definitely freezing some for later.
