The hard drive is still on the fritz. Will get all of you the Swiss Steak recipe when my computer has a new hard drive (so I can share a few photos).
Have designed one mitt (almost went the mitten route, but fingerless mitts are SO popular!) and am knitting the other so I can share the pattern with you. Am using Lion Brand Wool-Ease, which is not my favorite yarn, but, as I have no fancy yarn company sponsoring me (anyone from Rowan, Skacel, Karabella, etc, reading?) I have to use what is in the stash. I enjoy using my recycled fibers but I didn't have anything appropriate for this project. So Wool-Ease it was.
Speaking of recycled yarn, did some fierce sweater shopping today for prime yarn recycling material. Found some great fibers!
Am going to try chicken fricassee tonight - have never made it and it sounds intriguing; if it turns out good, I'll have another recipe to share with you!
And I guess that's that. Am feeling a bit scatterbrained and buggy today, so am going to sign off before I descend into babbling land. Will talk some more tomorrow!

this too shall pass...
So, share your secrets of recycling yarn. Goodwill, unraveling, washing, etc....it's a great idea! Can't wait to see the mitts! Do you have any sunshine up there? We sure don't ;-(
I shall write a blog post about it one of these days (recycling). There's lots of good resources on the web about it, I'll give you some links. Great idea for a post!
I totally hear the scatterbrained thing... Today was a frazzlemaster for sure! Take care!
I <3 recycling my old sweaters. The first one I did was a biotch, but it was so theraputic at the end. Remember tomorrow is a new day!
Yes, I'm interested in learning about how you recycle yarn, too. My sister buys wool sweaters at the Goodwill and makes fabulous felted bags out of them.
Can't wait to see the mittens!!
Have great week :)
