Last Linkity of February
First off, let me thank you all for your wonderful positive thoughts and well wishes for DH. I’m knocking on wood as I type, but I think the ick is gone from the house! Copious doses of Benadryl seems to have worked and I’ve somehow escaped the bug (again, knocking on wood). I’m woefully behind in replying to blog comments with little hope of replying to every one anytime soon. So please, accept this as our heartfelt thanks!
All the lack of sleep has caught up with my body and it is none too happy with me. But, I am plugging along on the next installment of the book. This is a really fun group of patterns and I can’t wait to get it out there, but it still needs some more work. In the meantime, here is a little sneak peek (full specs here if you want yarn at the ready when it is released). Those of you who have been bugging me for new sock patterns (you know who you are) - this one is for you!
Now, on with a brief linkity for this week…
Yummy:
- Ashley English’s guest post on Design*Sponge this week has my mouth watering - orange and vanilla marmelade! I’ve never made marmelade before, but DH and I have discussed making some. This may be just the recipe!
- Craft linked to something I think would be loved by my SnB group - Fig & Feta Phyllo!
- Heidi Swanson of 101cookbooks.com released a 6 recipe sample of her second cookbook, Super Natural Every Day which is bring released in early April.
Photography:
- I’m not immediately in the market, but I have found myself contemplating what my next lens purchase should be. This recent DPS article on Standard Lenses has some great food for thought on the subject.
Literary (or not):
- Calibre, a great program for organizing your ebook collection has developed a portal for DRM-free books called Open Books. With the aid of Calibre, all of these books are readable on any device, including the Kindle!
- I just learned of a Kindle blog that focuses on classic books - Kindle Classics. I’m excited that there is a place to go to help me choose which version of classics to get as not all e-books are created equal. Even if free, reading poorly formatted books takes away from the enjoyment.
