Easter & April KAL done

Had the fam over for Easter Saturday dinner yesterday. 15 in total.

• 2 8 lb Hams with Raisin Sauce
• Roasted Asparagus with Hollandaise sauce
• Horseradish Potato Croquettes (a recipe that I made up on the fly: boiled ~ 7 – 8 lbs. potatoes, put them through the food mill, melted some butter in them, added about ¾ container of sour cream, about ¼ jar prepared horseradish, salt and pepper; shaped them into large crab cake sized circles, dipped them in egg and water wash, then in Panko.

The fam brought veggie tray, cheese tray, nuts, sour cream salad, mushroom soup, and a lemon chiffon pie. Hubby had made a strawberry cake the day before, so we had plenty of food!

KAL - Still not sure why I do these. They just get stacked up in a pile. And truth be told, I wouldn’t have done a “religious” theme for a cloth if I had known.

More Yarn & Cloths

Picked up another skein of Manos from Marji’s yesterday. She called just as I was heading that way anyway, for a hair appointment. Being the impatient one that I am I HAD to go get it. Tried to email and cancel the skein I ordered online, but it has already been shipped So now instead of being short, I will have plenty left over…

Also picked up a ball of Schachenmayr Catania 100% cotton, for more cloths of course. The color is really pretty 143 Flamingo. I still am not sure why I do these cloths; they just sit in a pile. But I think I am addicted. ;)

I finished the 2 10 stitch swatches for the Stockinette, reverse stockinette (NB: need to redor the reverse stockinette since I didn't pay attention to the rs vs the ws :( and seed stitch. Now to block them and seam them. Started the blended twisted decrease swatch. Giving the lace a rest. :(
