Knitting Segments

Knits in Rehearsals:


Knitting These in Heritage Hand Paints I have since discovered that the color way is called Citrus Mix 
which I purchased at Unwind Yarn and Gifts in Savannah, Georgia. 

PDF Converter To convert any webpage to a PDF. Now I can have my Knitty patterns on my iPad

In Louet Euroflax Sport  In Natural Colorway (beware, the color in the photo on the linked page is very different from the actual color) 

Auditioning Knits


Using leftover sock yarn. Guess I need to keep making socks! 

Will most likely be casting this on once I get a few things off the needles, in my Claudia Hand Painted Yarns Contemplation in the Prussian Soldiers Colorway

Spring Forward KAL: 
Congratulations to our 2 winners: Ravely Users WildLilly and MandaJane. Send me a PM on Ravelry and I'll get your prizes out to you. Thanks to everyone who participated. 

The Next KAL will be the PALKAL: Podcast-along Knit-along 

We are going to knit and or crochet patterns and or using yarn by our favorite podcasters! Please see the Ravelry Group PALKAL chatter thread for suggestions, discussions, or to suggest a pattern or yarn to the group. For this KAL you can enter as many times as you like, each project is an entry, that way we feel encouraged to knit and support as many of our podcaster designs and yarns as possible. 

This KAL will run July 1 through September 1, so take the next couple of weeks to figure out what you want to knit and chat it up in the group thread!

What a Crock

I cheated a little this week, so the only part of this recipe made in the crock pot is the chicken, but it's so delicious and easy I wanted to share it with you! 

I substituted plain fat free Greek yogurt for the olive oil to save some calories. 

Here's the chart I use to substitute Greek Yogurt into my recipes.
