Fingerless #1

By -


Why do fingerless look better when someone is wearing them? I think the same of socks. So I'll be reposting these newbies in a better way later. I really just wanted to show the beautiful tones in this colorway. Major Jennifer of MajorKnitter brought this koigu when she visited me downtown last summer.

I made some granola this weekend. My sister's way. She adds little green pumpkin seeds and coconut to her mix. What do you add to your granola recipe?


I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

They are so pretty, but I agree, they always look better modeled. So, did MajorKnitter tell you about the huge wall of Koigu at our LYS? Awesome sight - one you really need to come to CT and see for yourself. :)

Your granola sounds yummy - wish I had some for breakfast this morning. I haven't made my own granola yet, but when I do, I'll let you know what I put in. I'm thinking sunflower seeds. Yummy.

Love the mitts (on or off the hand). Beautiful colors! I add chopped walnuts to my granola and sometimes candied pineapple. I have to get the sugar in there somehow!

I usually put oats, pumpkin nuts, sunflower seeds, honey, a bit of canola oil, sometimes coconut, sometimes maple syrup instead of the honey, pecans, almonds, the kitchen sink.... I don't put fruit in until I'm ready to eat it-the fruit tends to dry out otherwise. I just found out I'm gluten-intolerant so now I have to shift gears on the oats and find another grain that works and tastes good.

I've never made granola, but would like to find a good recipe. Adding seeds and coconut sounds like a great idea.

I don't like granola. Here it is called Muesli... rather eat a slice of bread instead. Love the colour of the FG's :-)

I gotta agree, some projects just need a person inside them. Very pretty yarn!

Great colourway for the wristwarmers.

I'm sorry I haven't got a granola recipe to share - I'm not much of a breakfast person. Coffee - a must, everything else, if I have the time.

I've never made granola, but adding coconut sounds delicious! Those mitts look great (gorgeous colors).

I like the mitts- the colors really pop!

I have to admit, I buy my granola- I have never made it! The kind I get has dried apples in it. Yum.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
