First off, this will be a quick post. I'm sleepy. And slighty drunken. My bad! And Top Chef is on. Triple whammy. Anyway, I've been working on my knit stitches. This is for my WIP Wednesday (visit shellyfish if you don't know what I'm talking about!). This is my special knit stitch for sweaters (knit, purl, alternate rows).
Next up is my first try at cable knitting. You can just see the little swirly-doo.
swirl twirl!
This swirlydoo takes lots of time, but is fun, nonetheless. I enjoy it. I want to try making some knit animalpals, but have yet to find any fun patterns. It will be, though!
Chick-wheat savory muffins
These are Celine's wonderful savory muffins. Michael made these and we had them with dinner last night. Then I had one for breakfast. Then I had one with lunch. They taste like fluffy falafel! Wonderful, wonderful. I fully reccommend that you made theses as soon as possible. PS - they are my new favorite muffin AND biscuit!
mini quiches
These are the mini crustless tofu quiches from fatfreevegankitchen.com. I modify mine, using regular tofu instead of silken and other veggies besides mushrooms (none on hand and i just don't like 'em that much). Still, I garnished them with a little cherry tomato while baking and they turned out wonderful! Hint: super spraying your tins with spray oil makes them come out easier.
all together now
Steamed carrots (on sale, what!) with mustard sauce from Vcon, quiches, and chick muffins. Lovely. I especially loves the muffins soaked in the mustard sauce. Woo! And now, I must continue watching Top Chef. See ya!

Beautiful quiches! And muffins! And knitting! I'm rather jealous of you WIP folk--my only work in progress is an english thesis. Not very postable. :) (And I'm commenting drunkish--quadruple whammy?)

The savory muffins look so great!
Very impressive knitting- You sure got the hang of it really fast!
Wow! I'm mighty impressed with your early knitting skills. I bought Stitch 'n Bitch awhile ago, and didn't get nearly as involved as I would have liked. I wanted to try amigurumii too!
I was eyeing those savory muffins too...yum!
I love those quiches, and I'm glad to hear those muffins are wonderful, as I knew they would be since they are from Celine.
I love Top Chef too!
Wow, your knitting looks awesome!! Cables are kind of a pain, but totally worth it in the end.
And oh those mini quiches and muffins! Yum!
