Hats, sweater and supper last night.


This is the umbilical cord hat or as the pattern is call Hospital Hat. It is made out of Caron Simply Soft in Pink. I had it completed in one evening. And started on the next one...








This is Baby Hat from the book "One Skein" by Leigh Radford. I love this book. This cap is the 1st thing I've made from it but I have my eye on several other things. The round rug at the back of the book really has me interested. The cap is made from Debbie Bliss Cashmerino in Carnation. I finished the cap the next day. It took about the same amount of time as the 1st one.




Here is the finished sweater. Seamless Yoked Baby Sweater. I still am not totally happy with the end results. I don't know if I like the ruffle or the buttons or the placement of the decorative stitches at the bottom of the body. And I'm still not fond of the color. But I don't think I want to redo so many things and it will probably stay just as it is. It also is made from Debbie Bliss Cashmerino in Carnation.






And this is leftovers from supper last night. Oh was this good. Corn salsa. Made from scratch. An eyeball and stir kind of thing. I had 3 recipes in front of me and just used the parts that I liked the best. Are you interested in what's in it??

Here's the recipe. Such as it is....

4 ears of corn, wrapped in foil, cooked on the grill for a few minutes, cut off cob and cooled.
1 tomato, seeded and chopped.
Purple onion, diced, about 1/3 C.
1/2 of a Red bell pepper, diced.
1/4 of a jalepeno pepper, minced.
I didn't have cilantro so I threw in a generous amount of dried parsley.
A glug of olive oil.
Juice of 1/2 of a lime.
1/2 tsp kosher salt and a dash of pepper.
It was all mixed together & in the fridge while I cooked some pork chops on the grill. Yum Yummy!

This is one of those recipes that you can add more or less of things depending how you like it.
