I knit the lap robe for a veteran. I used 2 skeins of Red Heart yarn color Blue, and size 10 needles. I cast on 120 stitches, and knit every row.

I found a fun knitting stitch for a scarf on Ravelry (Scrunchable scarf) .It is reversible and has a nice finished edge. I cast on 29 stitches on size 8 needles. Slip the first stitch as if to purl, then <br />
( Knit 2, Purl 1)<br />
The very last stitch is Knit. This creates a smooth chain edge for the scarf. Any multiple of 3 stitches plus<br />
2 stiches for a selvedge edge. Patons worsted wool 210 yards color magenta.Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07858785383017968912noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523865613640613091.post-69271129092176363462012-12-07T11:57:00.000-08:002012-12-07T11:57:05.607-08:00Chocolate Crinkles<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My Christmas cactus is blooming for Thanksgiving. I have seen them blooming in the garden centers and floral departments now. They come in red, pink, white, salmon, lavender, and gold. Red is my favorite.<br />

Tabasco vinegar is easy to make. Pour one cup of boiling vinegar over some stemmed<br />
tabasco peppers in a glass cruet. Add 1/8th teaspoon of salt to the cruet . This tabasco vinegar is good<br />
served with collard greens. My Bonnie tabasco pepper plant that I purchased from Lowes has been very productive.<br />

I saw this tea on sale at the grocery store, and thought it might make good stocking stuffers for Christmas.<br />
A bonus is the free tin inside the box. The sleepy teddy bear on the green box is wearing a red hat.<br />

Fall is the time for Split Pea Soup. Soup in the Crockpot is comforting on a rainy day.<br />
Recipe for the Pea Soup dishcloth: Cast on 35 stitches with #7 size knitting needles.<br />
Knit every row in garter stitch until square, and bind off. Cotton yarn is Lily Sugar' n Cream.<br />
Color is Hot Green. <br />

These vintage Vogart transfers (656) would make some cute kitchen dish towels. There is something charming about dancing dishes and animated vegetables. I may try to embroider these musical motifs<br />
with DMC floss on some white flour sack towels for my kitchen .(click to enlarge image)<br />

I love Jell-O ! I enjoy making it and eating it during hot weather. My favorite flavor of Jell-O is lime.<br />
I like all the colors and all the flavors. Jell-O is a great retro dessert. For extra jiggle in my Jell-O, I add<br />
a packet of Knox unflavored gelatin to the cup of cold water. Jell-O ad is from 1948.Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07858785383017968912noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523865613640613091.post-19218231844282188162012-06-02T11:28:00.001-07:002012-06-02T11:45:08.858-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The cranes stop to rest at Hiwassee Refuge in Birchwood Tennessee near Cleveland.<br />On a recent visit I observed thousands of Sandhill Cranes, and four white Whooping Cranes. An added bonus was seeing four adult Bald Eagles.
