Two things

First – the dried and twisted yarn from yesterday:

That first skein is about 80 yards of red/brown merino/silky goodness. I’m hoping that if I have enough to spin up 10 or 11 such skeins, then I should be able to make the Climbing Vines Pullover (because I did look at the IK preview – I wish I wouldn’t – I much prefer seeing all the patterns for the first time when the magazine comes through the door – if I’ve already pored over them online it’s nowhere near as exciting).

Oh and, because I’m going to try to do it right this time and spin it all up before I start knitting it so there’s a chance I’ll be consistent with it which means that there’s a danger that every day will be a photo of a very slightly different skein of yarn, here’s another bit of creativity from today – Indian-style cottage pie:

(You can’t see that it’s Indian-style, you’ll just have to believe me about the large quantities of ginger, garlic, garam masala etc which went into it… – it’s from Anjum Anand’s Indian Food Made Easy)

two comments:

Oh, I like the climbing vines pullover very muchly, it’ll be beautiful! I had my orders today, I was to make carrot cake and knit mitts. Carrot cake baked, on with the mitts!
