I'm to the toe of he first of The CEO's Uncle's socks and it is clear I won't have enough yarn. So I need to hunt down a skein of the KPPPM and hope I can match dye lots. It's hand painted so it shouldn't be too tough to match another dye lot in a pinch...or maybe I am kidding myself. We shall see. Here is a Work In Progress photo for you. I am finding the moss rib incredibly dull but that could be because my last two sock projects involved mock cabling and then lace.
I was contemplating using this pattern with a slight variation for someone else's Christmas socks but I just don't love it so that may not happen. This yarn makes my heart sing, however.
On the cooking front, have you tried the Saute Express by Land O Lakes yet? I find myself using them often to spice up some fix or chicken. I even used the garlic and berh on some asparagus the other night to great reception. They are pretty darned awesome for those in need of some quick intense flavor.
Also, I made filet mignon for The CEO the other night. I love cooking filet. I pan sear it and finish it in the oven to a perfect medium rare. He was nomming a steak and said "what do you put on this to make it so good?" "Nothing. Just salt and pepper," I replied.
And that's what makes filet so incredible. It just TASTES good.
Other than that, there has been a ton of hustle and bustle as we get ready for some very special guests who arrive tomorrow. There is something incredibly special about seeing NYC through someone else's eyes and I am more than thrilled to see it through some young eyes.
There will be some knitting while they visit, I hope...and tons of delish foods.
