Sittin and Knitting
It seems to be the summer of the Poke Cakes. I am enjoying mixing up puddings and cakes to my liking. This is my version of a watermelon cake.
Strawberry cake mix, pistachio pudding pokes, and cool whip.
They are easy and I guarantee you they are moist and they stay that way. Poke cake; the answer to DRY desserts.
I've also made the Boston Creme Pie Poke cake.
It is not my creation, but you use yellow cake mix, vanilla pudding pokes and milk chocolate frosting.
The coolest thing about this cake : you microwave a can of frosting and pour it over the cake to frost.
Perfection.
Here at Tour De France Central,
Fireman is rooting for an Italian man
Francesco Nobili.
I simply know that it SUMMER, the middle of Summer
when the Tour begins.
The Book, Diagnosing Giants interested me and she passed it along when she finished it. I read it in one sitting.
She also sent two adorable stickers along.
The bird yarn sticker, above, is now on my laptop computer.
Kim really made my day.
(handeyecrafts is her blog)
Obviously, she participated in my single strand of yarn contest earlier in the year…..
I was a bit cranky until the mail arrived.
Trying to get all my steps in is making me a bit crabby.
I just woke up and I have to start all over again.
Crazy, this workout stuff, it is crazy.
Thanks again Kim.
I've strayed from Trap for a bit.
I'm making up my own shawl pattern.
I had 9 skeins of Chesapeake yarn from a spring sale at Three bags full. So far, it is easy and fun.
If you were here I'd offer you a piece of poke cake,
and we'd sit on the porch and knit for a bit.
Any takers?

I like the new Italian dude too. Now that Mark Cavendish is out :( I need someone else to cheer for.
