winner

Tuesday, November 11, 2014

The random number generator chose #21, Sarah,  for the winner of the 60 Quick Luxury Knits. Congrats! Please email me and I'll have the book shipped to you ASAP.  
 I've been doing a little baking now that things are feeling a little more settled around here.  Giant Sugar Cookies were a big hit last week.  And yesterday I made snicker doodles for Charlie.  I thought it would be a nice treat for the college kid.  They are his favorite.  He told me it's been about eight years since I've made them.  (!!!!)  Eight?!!!  (He was almost right.  October '07!!!  I knew it was long... I was getting away from the crisco ingredient.)  I've made some substitutions to his favorite over the years, but learned just yesterday that there is nothing better than a true snicker doodle.  He said he felt like he was ten again.  Oh boy.  Sort of broke my heart it took me that long to make them again.
And see the above gloves?  Yep, you are right!... the one on the left has 6 stitches more than the one on the right.  That's what I get for drinking a mimosa while I cast on.
Oh boy.

    OMG snickerdoodles!!! I'm 65 and that takes me right back to 10 also. They are my most favorite cookies in the world. Thank you for posting the gloves. (grin) Maybe a second mimosa should have been drunk. You make me feel better about my mistakes.

    Lol, I made Charlie's snicker doodles for back to school cookies in August.

    I think your mitts are perfect for a person who is suffering from repetitive hand movement and has to wear a brace. That person just needs to step forward. :)

    I love a snickerdoodle. If you do want to get away from the Crisco, Martha Stewart makes a great recipe AND she has a recipe for snickerdoodle cupcakes too!

    It's worth it (enjoying a mimosa). Now if you have enough yarn, just cast on two more (one of each number) and you'll be good to go!

    I always have to count so carefully when I start crocheting something, the last thing I made was supposed to have 140 chains and I ended up with 152! It was OK as it was a cowl, but not good for something that needs more accuracy!! xx
