Mmmmmm! Plate-cleaning good!! Sheet-Pan Baked Feta With Broccolini, Tomatoes and Lemon recipe from NYT Cooking. I used halloumi instead of feta. I love the tooth squeak and taste of halloumi. 😋 Five star dish! Ten out of ten I will make this often!

I hope I finish this blanket some day.🤪 It is an 8 year WIP. Languishing away and recently brought out to try to make a modicum of progress. Here’s to hoping! 🥂. #knitting #knitsky #cozymemoriesblanket

Morning lake walk. That is a Sockhead hat on my head with leftover sock and mohair yarns. The hubs is wearing the Norwegian Fairisle Snowflake Hat. Both were knitted years ago. 😄 #memade #knitsky #knitting 🧶

Pinwheels and gingham! They turned out soooo cute! I actually want to make a lot more of the one on the left. I loved weaving these, but they do take quite a bit of time to weave with all of the pickup stick work on the front side of the heddle. #rigidheddleweaving #weaving

Performative to satisfy an autocrat. The emperor has no clothes!

That whole album…it was aimed at GWB and DC. And it’s still my fave Green Day album.

They are amazing! I got my husband some for Christmas. Our local Italian restaurant uses them in their cocktails and I regularly steal them from his drink. 🤣

Easy pickled beets and onions with dill. Cooling the brine down to room temperature here and then popping this jar in the fridge for four to five days. Golden beets, this time. Soooo yummy!!😋

Crochet a Valentine throw? It would be perfect for this yarn.

If you ever wondered why handmade things are pricier, this is just part of the “why”. This is me preparing to do just a single row on a cotton dish towel I am weaving myself.

Knitters and crocheters, have you seen this? Over 700 people have knitted this just since this came out this month. Traditional resistance!

This is a much slower process than plain weave. But the effect is amazing and satisfying! Pinwheel pattern in 8/4 Lofty Cotton, 12 dent reed, rigid heddle loom. You see plain weave at the start for the folded hem edge.

This is the best way to celebrate a milestone birthday (60). With two days off from work and doing what you adore doing. These will be pinwheel dish towels. I have a load of 8/4 cotton to play with. 🧶🥰

I haven’t tried those but they intrigue me. I used to do socks with two circulars (à la Cat Bordhi) and that is almost identical to the flexi dpns. I did like that method.

Have fun with it! Knitting is Zen.

Me, too! I’m thinking of trying the Fleegle Heel. I always default to a GSR heel because they are mindless and fast. It’ll be fun to watch you try a new heel and see how it goes. ☺️
