Progress On All Fronts
Wed Aug 27 2008


This morning I baked the last of the suitable recipes from the internet.
After closer examination, two of the ones I printed out got thrown in the reject pile for either too much fat or too much sugar.

This one was not very good.
I made it because it used a different method than the others. You mix it up and leave it in the fridge overnight and bake it in the morning.

Eh. I was not impressed. Total waste of time to do that in my opinion.

So I have compiled my own version using the best elements from four attempts.

I will test my version in the next day or two and let you know if it needs tweaking. But I promise to have a workable one for you soon.

In the meantime, I worked my way out of a very bad case of knitting doldrums by casting on a shawl to wear on the chilly mornings that I know are coming.

I'm sticking to my determination not to buy any new yarn until I have substantially reduced my stash. I drug out some odd balls of this and that to use up and this is what it looks like as of this morning....

I am enjoying the simple pattern and the fact that I won't have to look at those baseball sized leftovers just warms the cockles of my heart. Too much stash in the drawers haunts me like, like.. . . .

Yarn Zombies .

If they catch you, they wind mismatched bits of yarn around you until you can't move. Then your stash NEVER gets used up.

Yikes!

    That shawl is looking very nice. Good use of the odds and ends, and I'll bet there's a pattern somewhere for just what you're doing.

    It was a pleasure meeting you. Marissa said on the way home that we all yacked like we had known each other for years and years. I told her we have more or less as I've read our journals forever. Ok, see, I'm not lurking. LOL... I thoroughly enjoyed our get together.
