Corn husks, but got distracted.
Instead I start to work on the double knit square pot holder.
The husks are so quick and easy, I
could knit them on the car ride from my place to the in-laws.
Big pot holders become hot mats,
easily too. Come January, when all my holiday knitting is done, I
will make myself some new potholders for me. My current ones are 6
to 7 years old, and have been scorched over the years, and are
looking pretty sad. And besides, I am going bored with them. Not so
bored I won't knit some almost identical replacements—my red and
white gingham will be replaced with a black and white gingham!
So here I am with 8 of 12 inches knit.
A simple design, one side a solid, one side a polychrome, and a very
simple interlocking pattern. Both of the yarns are Sugar'n Creme,
Painted Desert and Gently Taupe. I consider the solid taupe to be the
right side...
I saw my granddaughters yesterday, and
brought them some small low voltage, battery operated holiday lights.
They aren't really safe for unsupervised use, but they enjoyed
playing with them as I watched. Bright lights are so much fun.
We went shopping, too. And I found and
bought my newest, most favorite veggies. My neighborhood is rich
with vegetable stores, and the selection of veggies is massive.
But.... I LOVE the big bags of Green Giant diced (cubed really)butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and yellow (rutabaga) turnips. The
fresh, not frozen ones. I wish they also had carrots and parsnips, too.
I had a mix of all 3 last night, spiced
and roasted, Yum! I like curried squash, too, and mashed rutabega,
and … I got some of the precooked beets, too. My daughter has been
raving about these for months, and I can see why. She makes “bread”
out of them (follow a banana nut bread recipe, but sub mashed/pureed
beets for banana's. Healthier, and visually, prettier. You can warm
them up in a microwave, or eat them cold in a salad. They taste
better than canned beets, as a bonus. Those who know me well, will
be surprised by my writing a rave review of vegetables.
