My Socks Do Not Rock.
I finally decided on a “Lace rib” pattern from “Sensational Knitted Socks” I cast it on yesterday, and knit for a bit before I admitted to myself that the striping/pooling is going to drive me batty. And the colours are obscuring the pattern.
Frog it, frog it good.
Yesterday, in an effort to kick my mojo, I got busy in the kitchen. Yes, you can all pick your chins up off the floor. I baked. My family can tell you what a rare, rare occurence this is.
In honour of ANZAC Day, I baked Anzac biscuits.
One legend has it that the ANZAC’s created these from their rations, another says that their wives baked them and sent them to the ANZAC’s. In any case, they are yum.
And they’re all gone already.
There’s a recipe here.
Go to Donni’s blog and donate to a good cause. She’s going to shave her head for “Shave for a Cure Day” if she can raise enough money – donate, donate, donate!
Now I’m going looking for another sock pattern.
I love Anzac cookies! Haven’t had them since I was travelling in Australia in the late 80s/early 90s. I’ve tried to make them here (Canada) but since we don’t have Golden Syrup they just don’t taste the same. Enjoy one for me!
man, i’ve never heard of anzac cookies, but they sound delicious right now. What’s golden syrup?
Hi Donna,
I’d also heard the biscuits were like tiles, both in texture and strength, by the time they got to the men!
MMM, THAT POOLING WOULD DRIVE ME A LITTLE CRAZY TOO – HOPE THINGS ARE GOING BETTER FOR YOU TODAY
(HUGS)
You’re right. That yarn wasn’t working for those socks. Cookies sound like a success though!
Yum cookies! They look good … I hope you enjoyed them. 🙂
Thanks for the plug Donna – you were my first – sorry – amending that – Em was my first supporter! Hope you will still talk to me when I don’t have any hair….
