Occasionally I get on a baking kick and, if I'm lucky, I am able to give away most of what I bake so I don't eat it all by myself. I wasn't quite to lucky with a batch of Russian tea cakes (a.k.a. Mexican wedding cakes). My SO took some, but my granddaughter did not like them, my daughter is doing a round of Whole30, and my son-in-law doesn't care for sweets. Once I recovered from indulging in all that butter and sugar, I made a small batch of fudge. It is actually too rich for me, but I still can't resist. Hiding it in the refrigerator helps.
Crochet: I finally finished the lavender baby blanket. I used (now discontinued) Moda Dea Washable Wool for the border. Despite its description on Ravelry, it is not a plied yarn. It is also considered an Aran weight. I think it will be okay; separate post with more details to follow.
Knitting: Slogging onward and upward with the Lithuanian mittens. After deciphering the instructions for the decreases, I discovered I will not have to do anything creative to implement them. I'm enjoying the knitting of the 'Graham' slouchy hat - quick and easy. I'm past the ribbing and into the body.
Indiana is still living in Crazytown re Covid. My son-in-law tested positive this past week; his fever broke last night, so he is feeling better. He stopped by my house last Tuesday for a few minutes, started showing symptoms Thursday, so I am quarantining, just to be safe. Or rather, to keep others safe. Fortunately, there is nowhere I need to go - my calendar is wide open until the first week of January. Stay safe!
