Label Project

Last month I decided to try making a pattern I found on the back of a Red Heart Super Saver skein label (say that three times fast.) I've never done that, but I figured I can read patterns well enough to manage. Also, the picture of the project on the front of the label was so tiny I really couldn't make out any details, so I had no idea what it would really look like. That adds an element of fun.

It took me only two nights to make two of the pattern, which are these double-soled slippers. I made a few mistakes, but I'm happy I was able to finish them reasonably well.

I made the medium size of the slippers, but they're a bit tight on my duck feet. I might make a large size pair to see if they fit better.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

In the Kitchen Garden

Our strawberries are taking over the kitchen garden, but I don't mind. This week I want to make some strawberry banana nice cream (a vegan version of ice cream) and maybe a chocolate cake with berries and cream for the topping. There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
