Babies need hats. Purl Bee has a cute pattern for a heirloom hat that made up in just a day or two.
Originally, the thought was to make a pair of booties, but after making the first one and realizing it looked too large, I checked the pattern and saw I had cast on too many stitches. The second one looked lots better, meaning I have to rip out that first stay on bootie and start all over. Can I get it done in time for Sunday when the hand off is to occur?
And, in the meantime, this is on the needles: Norwegian Shawl or Scarf.
For your culinary pleasure, I was directed toward a recipe that is excellent; a fairly heavy zucchini cake with lots of cream cheese frosting with zested orange. Have a look here. My notes here.
Our neighbor keeps supplying us with his zucchini, and we keep trying new things with them. Not a single zucchini has been harmed or wasted in the process of experimentation. We took over a portion of this cake to them as a "thank you", and they upped us by bringing over zucchini brownies. Not a bad deal.
Leaving you with this bumblebee on a cosmos. They are busy little things.
