I feel I am falling behind in my blogging responsibilities, so let’s play catch up.<\/p>\n

First up, the pink braided cable rib sock is almost to the toe! It looks a little goofy in the photo below as the instep needle did not care to be photogenic today. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Astute readers will notice that I stopped doing the cabling once I finished the gusset decreases. This braided cable doesn’t stretch out as flat as a simple cable, and I thought for comfort, switching to the rib was a good idea. It was a compromise between not wanting to have the cabling only on the leg, but also wanting a comfortable sock. I think it will work for me.<\/p>\n

Next up we have an very disappointed chevron scarf posing (but not willingly) on the couch-o-meter. The scarf rather clashes with the threadbare ruby red couch cushions, and it resents be photographed thusly. But it is one couch cushion long! As I want a short scarf, it won’t even make it to a full two cushions before the bind off. I plan to knit to about 44 inches (2 couch cushions=48+ inches) and then block.<\/p>\n

She better not take my FO picture with me lying on this %#^&*@# couch!–Chevron Scarf.<\/i><\/p>\n

Third up has no picture, but I am teaching myself to carry and tension the yarn differently. My way of carrying the yarn is becoming more and more awkward and annoying. It is hard to get an even tension without constantly dropping and picking up the yarn again, and my tension gets looser and looser the faster I knit. So, I am trying to finish my current projects in the old method while training myself in the new method behind the scenes so to speak.<\/p>\n

Finally, the chevron scarf did not grow any longer than one couch cushion today for two reasons. The first is that I have a new baking pan for uber-cool individual bundt cakes. I tried it out today on Amaretto Cakes from a Buttercup Bakes at Home<\/i> by Jennifer Appel. The pan worked! It was so cool!<\/p>\n

The second reason for lack of chevron scarf progress this afternoon: a Hemingway<\/a> Daiquiri:<\/p>\n

<\/a>
Not your frozen limeade daiquiri by a long shot<\/i><\/p>\n

I had two such daiquiris today, but since M used my calcium-fortified grapefruit juice, I built strong bones while I drank. BTW, the recipe M used is from the book and a Bottle of Rum<\/i> by Wayne Curtis. M enjoyed the book<\/a> immensely.<\/p>\n

I hope everyone had a great weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
