I was planning on making some choco candies for Valentine's, but when I went to get the material together... "Okay, I need 10 oz of nuts. I have... 100g. 10/16 of 454g is... umm... more than 100g". -_-;; For all we have nutcases in the house, we don't have any nuts. So instead I picked up everything I'll need to make flourless choco cake, the choco muffins
And of course, after getting home, I noticed an interesting little recipe in the paper as well that I'm intrigued by. It calls for 2c of heavy cream though, so it'll take a bit longer to make... assuming I remember to save it from the recycle pile. ^^;
I got my yarn order from KnitPicks today and hopefully HandPainted will come in the next few days. I really like the Shadow lace weight yarn from Knit Picks. *_* It's a 100% merino wool and is soooo much nicer to work with than the Szack I'm currently struggling with; it's also a fair bit heavier. (I also grabbed the Alpaca Cloud which is really soft, but I'm a bit scared to try it out quite yet). As it is, I started doing the Mystery Shawl 2 using the Shadow yarn and am half-way through Clue 2 already. I'll still work with the Szack (I like the colour scheme) but suspect the Shadow will go quicker since it's easier to use. (Oh, and I got nothing done for the Knitting Olympics today. -_-; Not good. I did start planning what yarns I wanted to try getting next though). ^^;;
Yesterday was a strange day, I thought I was coming down with a cold; potentially a bad one. I was headachey, coughing, sneezing and sniffling without end and today... nada or nearly so. o_O Either the massive dose of vitamin C helped or it was a combination of allergies and weather related migraine?? Weird. (Weather related is very possible; I had the "out of it" brainlessness / no energy that is usually associated with shifting weather. ...which is different from my usual out of it brainlessness). ^^;
Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day!
