I got up at 2am, so I could order a pink box bag from Joji, and I am really excited about the bag, but also kind of tired today.
I did have quite a productive weekend. I finished Leon's jumper (that I started last Sunday. That's definitly a personal best for jumper knitting). Photos to follow once it's dry.
I dyed the yarn for Kate Davies Sleeve Island. I'm really looking forward to knitting this strange garment. I'm also interested to see what colour this yarn is once it's rinsed out and dry, because (particularly the dark yarn) is not quite the colours I was expecting.
And I baked some "cookies". Like everyone else, I've been doing my share of lockdown baking. We always make our own bread and Leon and I have developed a tradition (or habit?) of having a 3pm coffee and a little something, so when Sarah Keiffer's 100 Cookies came up on NetGalley, I said "yes please".
It's a beautiful book, one that would be much better as a paper book. NetGalley recipe and craft books have to be read in Adobe Digital editions, which just sucks. So there was no easy flipping around. The introduction was interesting and informative, and then I got to the recipes, which sounded really good. The only thing is, they all say things like "will keep for up to two days" which seems odd, since biscuits really are fine for longer than that. Anyway, I finally got around to baking some and they were interesting and delicious and I think I
l'll try some of the other recipes too.
I hope your weekend passed with pleasant pursuits, good snacks and healthy days for you and yours.
