I'm a big fan of WBUR's On Point with Tom Ashbrook. Click the link above for more on this radio show! Click here for how to save federal funding for public media.

EDIBLE creations! Not knit :)

A slight divergence, since this blog does provide me with the opportunity to brag!

Also for the beau, Valentine's Day creations:
Hazlenut Linzer Cookies
I used the Barefoot Contessa Recipe + ground hazlenuts into the sugar with a food processor.

Slightly more recent . . .normal hat.

Too late for the winter season: Hot Huggie Hot water bottle cover

2009-04-25T06:41:00.000-07:00

Something to keep me warm without high heat bills: the hot water bottle and its snugly, felted cover. The pattern is from Rowan Winter Gifts catalog. I took this pattern and ran "wild"; I felted it and then sewed a button clasp in addition to mica and Beatrix Potter buttons on the lower left.

My mom brought the alpaca wool back from her fearless trip to Peru. I will wear the sweater for a few days before I give it to her for Channukah. Excuse the goofy faces and thanks to Rachel for taking them!

If you are a beginner knitter and don't follow a pattern, you end up with a felted fez! I knit this hat over three years ago for Tom (featured above).
