Here’s a work-in-progress post for Kim (Woolen Rabbit). This is the little Norwegian sweater I cast on for my cousin’s mountain man baby. Good thing it’s a quick knit or he’ll outgrow it before I even get it done. Good incentive. I totally screwed up my math so when I got to the patterning I had to completely change it and come up with my own. I pulled out the graph paper and started fiddling. I learned something. Norwegian patterns are much easier to do on and odd number of stitches. Of course I had an even number. Grrr. I’ll share the chart I did in a future post. You can just make out the column of green on the upper left that will serve as my stitching line when it comes time to cut.
I was supposed to meet an Elann friend for lunch yesterday but they closed the roads down on post and the boys got yet another snow day home from school. I would really have liked to go meet T but I have to admit… our backyard is beautiful as a winter wonderland. You can’t even see the houses behind us.
Yesterday was a perfect morning for fresh warm muffins. These blueberry muffins are FABULOUS! I just beat the butter and sugar by hand instead of pulling out the Kitchen Aid and they were light and airy and perfect. I happen to have the book (Martha Stewart’s Baking Handbook) and love it. It’s chock full of excellent recipes. You can also find the recipe here.
Oh yum…must make some muffins soon!
Nice save on the sweater. Good thing you were able to work out a new pattern instead of having to start over. Looks good!
I love the photo of your backyard. I love how it looks like the stairs are leading to a secret knitting spot in the woods.
That snow kept me in Texas for another day! It is beautiful though, isn’t it?
Yum……I LOVE blueberry muffins!
all this color work on all these blogs….I think my knitting is trying to tell me something! The backyard shot is beautiful!
All looks good from here. Btw, is that a Pampered Chef muffin pan? I make tons of muffins and with the price of muffin papers, I’d break even quickly, for the price of the pan.
