“I Think We Should All Just Come Clean and Relax…”
“If there’s anything I’ve learned all these years on my own
its how to find my own way out there
and how to find my own way back home”

Sorry I’ve had that stuck in my head all day!
I just finished making some cookies I started yesterday. I forgot to read the recipe and didn’t notice that they said they had to be refrigerated overnight, so I just baked them off. They are Orange Ginger cookies I got off A Friend To Knit With. I was afraid they would taste a lot like last week’s cookies, but they are quite different. I like the buttery, orange flavor, its really nice. (Note to Stephanie: I subbed silken tofu again for the eggs, they tend to spread out a lot so leave some room between, watch them closely they didn’t seem to need 9 minutes - not sure if any of this is due to the tofu or not. Also I cut them much thicker than the pic after the first sheet came out super crispy!). The jury is still out if my brother likes them or not, I haven’t seen him yet.
My cookies may not look pretty but they taste damn good!

My mother has been on a scarf kick. I started knitting more so I could move on from the scarves, but now she wants scarves (its cold here, its Ohio!). They’re cheap to knit also. So I finished up this scarf for her. It needs some blocking then it will be ready to go.
BTW - I *hate* this yarn. Has anyone else used this Ironstone Yarns New Wool? Pretty yarn, but rough and a pain in the arse to knit with, I kept grabbing pieces of it and it was just a mess. I have a whole other skein she wants fingerless mittens out of but that’s my last time with this yarn!

Nothing exciting, you can’t really see but it has a few rows of pretty eyelets.
I didn’t make much headway on the socks, but I did get a little further.

I’m really loving this pattern. I’m not too stressed about finishing them cause my aunt told me last week that she’s allergic to wool, so now I’m just doing them for fun cause they’re my first pair of socks ever! I wish I could keep them and wear them, but I have huge feet and they won’t fit me. I need to find some cute sock yarn that isn’t wool or a wool blend.
I didn’t get any other knitting done, mostly because I was doing this:

That’s right! You can see the top of my desk!
***Matt just weighed in on the cookies. He doesn’t care for the orange flavor. He prefers last week’s but that didn’t stop him from eating a few of them. I still like this week’s cookies.
That is all…goodnight!
