Yummies

I was feeling quite domesticated when it got to yesterday afternoon.  Other than that I was feeling quite unmotivated!

The weather was awful here yesterday. Ok... awful too strong a word that's agreed. But it was cold, wet and windy... M and I had considered going to the cinema to watch Gravity in 3D, but once he got in, we decided against it! So with the weather being decidedly seasonal I thought what would be nice and warming? I opted for Slimming World Cowboy Pie, the recipe is available here. I exchanged celery for celeriac... as I didn't have any celery, and had 3/4 of a celeriac left to use! I made up roasted celeriac, carrots and red onions to accompany.  It was so filling and warming, I had no chance of finishing my portion! We then sat down in front of the telly, we are E4 fans and so our evening was mostly spent watching Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, and Rules of Engagement! I sat knitting the Christmas snoods... I've lost count of how many I've made now.  I also finished the snood that I'm pleased to say I designed myself! I'll post a pattern here when I can!

Will post pics of the pie mix, as it did look scrummy; I'd say its a bit of a chilli bean mix really, very filling as it has the meat, veg, kidney beans, baked beans and sweet-corn. I guess you could sub the baked beans for cannellini beans if you so wished!

As promised... Pics..

The Eventual Scarf

So... Early 2013 my OH (M) asked me to make him a scarf; so we found a pattern; and because I want this to be a scarf that he will wear I made him come wool shopping with me. So, pattern chosen, wool selected. Project cast on... Knitted about 10 inches worth... That is how it stayed.... 
So feeling like a failure I decided to try out some stitch variations... And I'm pleased to say it worked. Once finished I will take some photos and add up the wool and stuff. Must say I'm chuffed with it and it's knitting up miles quicker than the other one! So; I'll be calling the scarf pattern... The eventual scarf! As I eventually got there! :-) 

On another note; it's been payday... And it's getting close to Christmas... And I think I'm going to make snoods and fingerless mitts for everyone.., or as many people as I can... Saves money! 

Also; getting close to rememberence day... Will need to make up some poppies... I've been commissioned two! Best get on! 
Knit stitch craft and bake, with love, happiness, kindness and smiles xxxx
