Good morning, everyone.
I'm having a quiet weekend here with my parents. It's nice to have the time to really get on with my knitting and I've started the Aran hoodie to ring the changes from the self striping jumper which is just stocking stitch. I do enjoy Aran knitting and this one, albeit simple, is nice to knit up. Because it is so structured, it's easy to see what to do next (knitters will know what I mean here) and it grows pretty quickly too.
Today I will be doing some washing and semi-inventing a recipe to use up some roast chicken from yesterday. I might go for a walk this afternoon but I was daft and left my walking shoes at home which is a pain! Never mind.
Have a lovely Sunday. See you tomorrow!
I understand what you mean about the knitting I once made a jacket for Mike which was a sort of textured effect and the pattern was a complete nightmare as you had no idea what was coming on the next row.
ReplyDeleteOoh, we had roast chicken last night too. Tonight it'll just be cold chicken with new pots and a chicoree/tomato/green pepper salad.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the knitting, it's nice to be able to alternate between a couple, or three, wips.
I've picked off the rest of the meat now (there's loads) and the carcass is gently bubbling away on the hob. I find long and slow produces the best stock and if I was home I'd be using my slow cooker.
ReplyDeleteDiane, I find patterns like that so difficult. They can be very difficult to piack back too, if necessary.

I have roast chicken today and I'll plate up a second meal for tomorrow. The rest of it will be frozen in portions, the carcass used to make stock, and the left over veg will make bubble and squeak ... my favourite!
ReplyDeleteChicken can be great value, can't it?
