Trying something new

I've been sick and every time I'm sick it gives me a big urge to bake. It is something about being home and wanting to give comfort. What's the best comfort? Baked goods of course. I usually can resist the urge till I'm on the mend and no longer contagious, like this time. Good thing my body planned ahead and demanded I buy frozen blueberries beforehand. So I tried my hand at making some mini muffins using a new recipe. You're supposed to layer the berries then batter, but then I missed the multiple layers item. So I had to convert them to upside down muffins. No worries they still taste great. 


It's new sock Friday! These little buggers are finally done. I started knitting them way back before D's accident in 2016. I got halfway through and thought they did not want to be socks, but I didn't know what they did want to be. So they sat on the needles and they moved into the new house and sat some more. When I finished knitting D's new socks (pictures coming) I wandered into my Rhinebeck room and none of the yarn called to me. I know right?! Then the half finished sock said "Uhm maybe I do want to be a sock, and another sock. Yes being two socks would be nice." So I took up my needles and now socks!


 This is Bumblebirch Heartwood in Celestial.  I bought this in 2015 in Portland on a visit before we decided to make the big move. Full circle and what not.

So now I need some different socks on the needles. I'm thinking this pair needs to be called Your Mother was a Hamster. You all have seen Monty Python's Holy Grail, right?


Burt says, I know how to keep my socks clean. Will you knit me a new pair sometime Momma?

  1. I wore the socks you made me for a walking event yesterday. It was so nice to have comfy, warm feet. :)

  2. I'm ever so glad you like them. And glad the weird guy on the plane did not steal them when I was bringing them to you.
