Binding Off

First and foremost...I just want to say thanks so much for your support. The fact that ya'll even check this anymore tickles me pink...and I can't say enough about the kind comments you left me. And now I of course couldn't post again without and FO!


Just a little one...but better than nothing! It is Calorimetry from knitty.com. I adjusted the pattern by casting on only 80 stitches, and didn't do nearly the amount of repeats of row 5 as suggested...as it seems i have a little head and otherwise it would be much to big. Plus I like the headband look. I finished it the night of my last post and it felt really good to not only start something, but finish it just about an hour and a half later. So if any of ya'll need a pick me up this little guy is a great project!

And just to give you some more pics to drool over....

Pumpkin Muffins from the Post Punk Kitchen. The only adjustment I did was replacing half the oil with applesauce to make them a little more "figure friendly" hehe. And they are absolutely scrumptious!

Who needs chicken?? This is super-yummy (baked) "chicken-fried tofu" mmmm

These little beauties are "Sunny Blueberry Corn Muffins" from Isa's cookbook, Vegan with a Vengeance. You can find the recipe sans blueberries on www.theppk.com.

And to end this post I leave you with a story of my day. It seems I put off my laundry until I had at least 3 loads to do. This would be fine if i was, lets say...still living with my mom. But I'm not and it now costs me quarters. No not money...I am not concerned with the dollar amount...its the constant need for quarters that drives me bonkers. I am constantly one measly quarter short of being able to finish my laundry. And do you think they would have a quarter machine in the laundry? No of course not. Now i am not gonna walk 45 minutes to the closest grocer to ask for a freaking quarter (this is probably why my laundry got all the way up to 3 loads worth). So finally today I remember I need quarters and I make sure to get a couple dollars worth at the market before going home.
I load in my laundry and push go on all the washers...being a bit ocd I recount my quarters to make sure I have enough for the dryer. I don't. I am one. quarter. short. Now I am just totally steamed and I decide there has got to be a way. I must be able to find a quarter somewhere. And thats when the neon glow catches my attention. The pop machine in the corner. Oh sure I could put in $2 to buy a soda and get 3 quarters back, but a) I don't drink soda, and b) would rather not support soda companies. SO...my mind is ticking away and I start thinking...What if I pretend to buy a soda. You know...put the money in and then say...eh...nevermind. And push the change back button. So I do...and ...are you ready for this??? Out pops quarters!!! I have beat the system. My friends this is one for the little people. I came back with a handful of not-quarters change and traded them all in for quarters.
Glorious. Truly Glorious.
