My Own Version

After finishing this baby blanket I was inspired to make one of my own, as the stitch is pretty and the ripple is one of those mindless no-count one-row patterns once you get past the first row. I also need a mindless pattern to work on as I'm finishing up another project for my day job this week.

I pulled these worsted weight colors from my stash. I have more white if I need it, which will be every other 7-row stripe. I'm going to see how the colors look worked up with the white before I decide on whether to do one or more rows in those shades.

I crocheted about 6-1/2 rows or 6" of the throw in one evening, so it should take me ten or so evenings to make. If you'd like to try making a granny stitch ripple throw, Yarnspirations has a free printable pattern here.

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.
