Today I was running around like a maniac, trying to fill out paperwork, going to therapy, buying milk, going to the post office, test driving a car. I forgot until 1/2 hour before bedtime that it was my day to post! Fortunately I don’t have much to write today, so I should be able to go to bed as scheduled.
I haven’t been making anything recently because I’m more interested in finding a new car. I only have 2 things going on:
My sister has asked me to create a Redwall feast for her birthday party on Sunday. In preparation of that, today I made some Redwall cheese. I don’t know which book it’s from because I didn’t take notes quite that helpful, but it’s in there somewhere. It’s white cheese with sage. Almost all Redwall cheese has something mixed into it, which is why I had to make my own! I even used sage from my garden. The recipe is here. I didn’t get a photo of the finished cheese because I was cold and lazy.
The other thing is that my friend, Derpenna, taught me how to crochet a while ago. She taught me the single crochet stitch. My first project, like all first crochet projects, was a deformed rectangle of cloth. I decided on a stitch that I like the look of, which is apparently called a slip stitch, and went on to a very ambitious 2nd project: crocheting socks. I’m doing them in the same way I’ve done my naalbinding socks, but with crochet instead, which I’ve found I prefer because it’s a bit faster, and I can actually undo mistakes. Here they are so far:
They’re not going to match, and I’m okay with that.
So what are you guys up to?
A neapolitan sock! I love it! Nice photo with the pink background, too. Do we get photos of the cheese, too? Or will you show us a photo of the feast next week?
Good luck car shopping. That can be really stressful for me.
I will hopefully be able to get photos of the feast food. For sure I’ll get a photo of the cheese when it’s all nicely displayed on a cutting block.
Yay for crochet! I made a couple hats this week for my unborn niece. And, yes, I want to eat that sock. Looks like sherbet, or perhaps it even better resembles sherbeRt.
nom nom sherbet! I didn’t even realize that until you said it. Also vanilla ice cream with sprinkles.
