The promised pictures! Here are the ladies busily working on ….. swatches! That’s right, swatches! Taking my cue from recent mitten migraines, I started us all off with swatches. From there we conquered the intricacies of knitting on dpns. I found this site that will generate a sock pattern based on your measurements. We had a great time! At one point, Mollie exclaimed “Now I know why people buy socks!” :)
why this isn’t wildly popular is a mystery to me!
I had my first piece of Oatmeal Pie in Lancaster County, PA. I was in love. I got home and immediately set about trying to find a recipe. I searched the internet, but had no luck. Where did I finally find one? On my very own bookshelf! Like Dorothy, the thing I was searching for was in my own backyard so to speak! It is from an old cookbook, Farm Journal’s Complete Pie Cookbook. This book came from my mother’s collection and I didn’t realize it was on my shelf. I suggest baking one of these babies and filling your pie-hole with it!!
