sock castles

The first Hayrick sock is finished! I heart it! The second sock is underway.
It has been a full week here and we're looking forward to the weekend. No big plans...just a little knitting and staying out of the rain.

What about you?

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

sweets of a different shade

Hmmmm....could there be some cooking in my future??

First up is the Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey Dessert cookbook (a wonderful Bday gift from Jen!). Oh yum. And the photography...double yum. If you don't have a sweet tooth prior to looking through this book, you will afterwards!

The Pioneer Woman Cooks is a cookbook by who else? PW. We will be feasting like royalty here at Chez NK with these two books as our gastronomic guides!!

while we're talking food....

a little 'Candy Corn' (another awesome gift from WG) to sweeten the yarn basket!

Happy Friday-eve!!

It's November and it's getting cold outside. Really cold.

Frosty cold. Brrr.

Not to worry, we're keeping comfy warm here at Chez NK!

A "full house" of Anne socks:
1 Hayrick sock in The Woolen Rabbit 'Harmony'
a pair of Tottering Cable socks in The Sanguine Gryphon 'Bugga'
a pair of Papaver Sok socks in Hazel Knits 'Artisan' yarn

Moroccan Chickpea Stew. Yum.

Happy Monday!!
