Time for a Trip…
I don’t think you’d care to see a toe-less second sock since you already got to see sock one so instead, if all the purple pictures from yesterday aren’t enough for you I’m going to point you to a few posts worth checking out in blogland…
Firstly, did you see that Ann aka Purlingswine finished her Trekking Dimple Socks? Yes, the original pattern for Dimple is for DK weight, but it is easily sizable for any yarn and I have to say I may end up using that pattern on my next ball of Trekking too! If you need help resizing Dimple just give me a shout, I’m more than happy to assist you. Trekking just calls out for ribs because of the stripe effect of the yarn, yet I get bored with a standard rib so it may just be a Dimple or a Flatiron that is up next for me in the Trek-a-Long.
Did you know that Kirsten has been in Sweden? (start here and work your way to present day) *swoon* Check out all her great photos from the trip. And while you’re there, perhaps you’ll join the Baudelaire KAL?
Also, partially to toot my own horn and because it seems whenever I meet blogging people they always ask about the cheesemaking that DH’s does I want to send you over to his blog once again because he has posted a photo tutorial on how he made Stilton-style cheese this week! (Hello, run on sentence anyone, LOL!) I took many of the photos he used. It was tough as most of the steps took place after dark, but a good tripod and a long history with Photoshop got us some serviceable shots. Stilton-style is definitely not the place to dabble with cheesemaking, but I think I may have him convinced to do a photo tutorial on cream cheese on the cheap with ingredients you *should* be able to get at a local supermarket or perhaps a food co-op. But that likely won’t be until August or September as the milk delivery is officially on hiatus until then because the house gets too warm for the pressing stages and speeds up the acidification and aging process.
Well, it is about time for me to rustle up some PB&J for lunch and finish up my sock! :-)
