Recipe: Cranberry Pecan Bars

Posted by limedragon | Filed under recipes

My mom received a framed copy of this recipe years ago from an old friend. Whenever she needs or wants to bake some holiday treats, she’ll make a batch of these bars. They’re sweet, tart, and yummy all at the same time.

Somewhat Plain

Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, socks

Whee! These are the last pair of socks I needed to finish for holiday knitting. The original plan was to incorporate the leftovers from the other Italian series with this last colorway.

Ravelry helped me remember the Broadripple pattern, which has been sitting at number two in my queue since I signed up. [...]

Have you any Panda Wool?

Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, socks

I thought this last-minute but thoughtful gift would be a Breeze. But disaster has befallen; I have completely run out of yarn!

Cables and skimpy yardage** turned out to be a bad match. Even though I should’ve known better, I had every faith that what I had (one skein plus a bit leftover from the baby [...]

Very Warm Hat

Posted by limedragon | Filed under accessories, knitting

Here’s a Finished Object that I’m very late blogging. It’s also my very first EZ project. FuzzyBritches’ Warm Up the Winter gave me the perfect opportunity to knit a Very Warm Hat, which I’ve wanted to knit for quite a while now.

p align=”center” The yarn was left over from the Triple Patterned hat you’ve already [...]

Slytherin Socks

Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, secret pals or swaps, socks

It took a long time but I finally finished the socks for Amelia, my Hogwarts Sock Swap TWO pal. We had exchanged emails at the beginning of the swap where she indicated that, because she received a pair of Gryffindor socks in the previous swap, she was open to receiving a pair of socks [...]
