Knitting News
Good morning! How are you and how is your crafting coming along? I continue to work feverishly on the christening blanket and am now mulling over how to finish it off without doing all of the remaining charts. I do not have much yarn left with the second skein. I do have a third optional color (similar to the first one) but I'm not sure if I want that and most of all I don't know if 500 yards will give me an additional inch of pattern based on how many inches I obtained with the second skein. If I could get the blanket to be 36 inches wide and long (it's a square!) I feel that would be enough of a blanket. So my wonderings are: how many add inches in blocking will I get? Definitely one inch per quadrant but would I get two inches? Three inches might be right out! Also, how do I finish it off? I am going to flip through some of my other knitting books for some ideas. Overall, I have loved knitting this and I'm excited to get it off the needles and give it a blocking....
Yum! Homemade fries?
ReplyDeletewhat a great picture!!! we both have food on our minds this week!!! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteYum yum!! I love my mom's homemade fries. And I love this little potato cutter you have!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great potato cutter that is! Too bad fries are off my list of what I can eat...
ReplyDeleteMy moment: My Moment
I need one of those... I had forgotten about home-made fries!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Debbie
Oh yum! I could eat my weight in fries!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Karen. Does your son
come home this weekend?
Ooohh chips :) yum yum
ReplyDeleteBee happy x
Have a delicious day!
What a cool contraption! I see fries are in order.
ReplyDeleteWhat is that contraption for making potato fries? How will you season these? s&p only with oil or fancier?
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! Where did you find it? Mama want! Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeletemmmmmmm!
ReplyDeleteIs there anything better than homemade fries? Probably not.
ReplyDeletefries, yummy! enjoy! would love to have that thing you're using to cut them, seems like it's from the good old days! :)
ReplyDeletelooks like the start of something good!
ReplyDeleteSo good!! I found one of these at our local Goodwill store and grabbed it quick. We love it... the kids like to help press it down while I hold on. I like that it has pieces you can change the thickness, too. Although, mine is not as pretty... love that color! Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat gadget looks like a great one! I will have to keep my eyes open for one. Blessings, Tami
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool gadget and luv this moment too,.
ReplyDeletenothing is as good as homemade french fries. yum!!!
ReplyDeletehappy weekend friend :)
Oh, yum! And I love the cutter. Looks so much easy (and prettier) than doing them by hand like we do.
ReplyDeleteMine was a different sort of moment this week, a just for me kind of excitement:

Nifty! Making fries, perhaps?
ReplyDeleteYum! Can we come over?
ReplyDeleteOh my! My weakness - my husband's homemade wings & fries! It's terrible, but oh so yummy! I do have to ask - where can I get your contraption there? I am sincerely wanting one if you could point me in the right direction?
ReplyDeleteThe kids were labeling the sprouts this week. I guess our lil' lovie didn't think much of the lettuce he was in charge of...

I really hope you will take a "moment" to come by! :)
That would certainly make life easier when making chips. I bet they were tasty. Have a beautiful weekend. Jacinta
ReplyDeleteHomemade fries are the best, hope you enjoyed them :)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend.
yum!
ReplyDeleteand such a better method than my, "please don't cut me!" knifing skills while making homemade fries. :)
oh those are the best! My husband bought me one of these and a deep fryer for my birthday last year..(I think he had a hidden agenda on that one:P) and I have to say, we can't go back to frozen fries anymore.
ReplyDeleteI need that gadget! I am such a gadget geek and I am so tired of hand cutting our sweet potatoes. :)
ReplyDeletetasty! xo
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and not forgetting me during my "blogging sabbatical"...I see you have been busy knitting some beautiful things...why am I not surprised! Glad all is well with you too! Is this a new toy?
ReplyDeleteKaren!!!!! Missed ya lady... Love your patina shawl--faaabulous !!!! And look at that cool fry cutter!!!! Btw, I will need your knitting expertise. Messed up on the armpit holes on my sweater. One side is nearly two inches longer than the other!! Aaagh! Wondering if I can just fudge it when I bring the seams together....will have to email you separately when I find more time, probably after we find a place to live....
ReplyDeletehappy weekend to you!
xo
Ooh, I love kitchen gadgets - and chips too - yum xx
ReplyDeleteTotally wishing I could try on your shawl. Super envious. I need this -- wondering if I could find one for a Kitchenaid. Nonetheless, lovely picture that makes my mind spin to hamburgers and pickles and salt and.......
