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.

Broadripple
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, socks
Broadripples were all the craze two or three years ago. I have so many sock patterns I would like to knit that I either forget what’s available, or have a hard time choosing. 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.

Slytherin 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 [...]
