<span style="font-size: small;">I just finished TWO pair of summer socks from ONE BALL of our new ON LINE Supersocke Swing Color. This yarn has really good yardage, 460 meters, so I was able to get two pairs of summer socks - bobby socks with a 5 inch cuff and no leg sneaker socks - out of one ball of yarn.</span><br />

Interesting but I am not at all surprised. Knitting calms me when I am anxious and lifts my spirits when I feel distressed. Nothing like a new ball of crazy sock yarn.<br />

The zoo's baby panda BeiBei had his first introduction to snow! Keepers took him outside to a small behind-the-scenes area and let him explore in a light dusting of snow for a few minutes while Mei Xiang ate her breakfast in her outdoor yard. Keepers said he wasn’t quite sure what to make of the powdery snow.<a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/wesavespecies?source=feed_text&story_id=10153833897857902"><span class="_58cm"></span></a><br />

Karen has a shawl class that has been attracting a lot of attention.Therapy Shawl is simple enough to be relaxing but provides enough variety to keep your interest. So many knitters wanted this class, Karen has had to add a second. There are still a couple of spaces.<br />

couple of supporting solids. </td></tr>

I have looked at this hat on Ravelry many times. Just before Christmas I was looking for a nice classic style toque as a gift for some one and decided to give it a try. It was a simple easy design and I loved the finished hat. What I really liked was the design created on the top by the decreases.</div>

The pattern offers 2 sizes and the original hat is knit in DK (22sts/4"). The first one, now gifted so I can't offer a picture, was knit in Berroco Ultra Alpaca light. I decided to try it in Cascade 220, a worsted (20sts/4"), and knit the small/medium size which turned out a perfect medium/large in the thicker yarn. Shown below</div>

The pattern is a knit3, purl 2 rib which is very stretchy, providing a snug comfortable fit. And it has a generous fold back brim for an extra layer over the ears. Because I enjoy playing around, I decided to try a baby hat out of some left over Fleece Artist sock yarn. An unexpected surprise was the colour pooling. 28 grams of sock yarn, 100 sts on a 3mm needle. It finished with an un-stretched circumference of 10 inches, 8 inch depth. Because this hat is so stretchy, I think it would fit from a newborn up to close to 9 months to a year</div>

I managed to resist it for several days. There was no shortage of other Christmas treats in the house. One night I decided to finally indulge. I opened it up and took a bite. I had not thoroughly read the whole label. <br />

It was soap beautifully designed to look like fudge. I can tell you, soap that smells like Apple Butter Caramel does not taste like Apple Butter Caramel!!!! Do you have any idea how long it takes to get the taste of soap out of your mouth? I now understand why it is said some parents discipline their children by washing their mouth out with soap. My first thought was to rinse my mouth out with water. All that did was distribute the soap flavor over all the taste buds so I could truly savour the flavor. I followed up with brushing my teeth and a thorough rinse with mouth wash. Taste was still there. Finally, I was rescued by an ice cold Red Racer beer.<br />
<br />
Any one who has had the pleasure of meeting Karen, knows she is a kind and generous woman who would never intentionally hurt someone. But she did laugh at me when I told her what had happened.<br />

ENJOY!!! <br />
Beth<br />
<br />
Serenity Knits celebrated its 10th Annual Christmas Open House this past Saturday, November 21st. All the treats were well received but we had repeated recipe requests for three in particular. So here they are!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">Karen’s Chocolate Christmas Cake</span></span></span></b><br />
Ingredients:<br />
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips<br />
1 250 g pkg Philadelphia cream cheese, softened<br />
2 cups miniature marshmallows<br />
1 cup candied cherries, cut into quarters<br />
1 cup candied mixed fruit<br />
1 tsp almond extract<br />
Directions:<br />
Melt chocolate chips in microwave oven (medium setting, stirring often) or in top of double boiler over hot water. Add softened cream cheese, stirring until well blended and no visible streaks of cream cheese remain. Stir in candied fruit, cherries and almond extract. Add marshmallows last, stirring gently. Press batter (thick) into a waxed paper lined loaf (approximately 4 x 8 inch) pan or 8 x 8 inch cake pan (if you prefer squares). Chill well before slicing into slices or squares. Store covered in the refrigerator. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Leslie's Cheese Dip</span><br />
1 lb shredded cheddar cheese<br />
1 1/2 medium white onion, finely diced<br />
2 cups Hellmans Mayo (full fat, not lite & only Hellmans)<br />
Mix well. Place in oven proof container. Bake at 350 until top is brown. Serve with crackers or bread.<br />
Note: This dip can be made in advance, stored in frig and reheated by stove or microwave to serve.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Sugar Plums: From “Victorian Christmas Crafts”by Barbara Bruno</span><br />
Sugar Plums are an ancient treat probably originating in the Middle East where whole figs were transformed into the original glace fruit by long and repeated simmering in sugary syrup. Victorians, always ready to guild the lily, added nuts, orange rind, a variety of dried fruits and brandy, to create the “Sugar Plum visions dancing in heads” in the Victorian Christmas poem, the Night Before Christmas.<br />
Ingredients:<br />
3 pounds of dried mixed figs, dates, raisins & currants<br />
1 ½ pounds of blanched almonds<br />
½ pound unsalted shelled pistachio nuts<br />
½ pound of crystallized ginger<br />
finely grated rind of 2 oranges<br />
2-3 tbsps brandy (or orange juice if you prefer)<br />
white granulated sugar<br />
Method:Finely chop and mix all ingredients except brandy and sugar. Use a food processor or grinder because you want the ingredients to be well chopped/ground. Add 2-3 tablespoons of brandy to help make the mixture stick together. If you would prefer not to use brandy, use the juice of one of the oranges instead. Mix WELL. Form the mixture by hand into small balls, approximately a tablespoon at a time. Roll them in sugar. Store the Sugar Plums in a covered container. It is best to let them meld for a few days but they can be served right away. They will keep for several weeks in a covered container.<br />
<br />
We are glad you enjoyed our Christmas treats and are pleased to share these recipes with you.<br />
<br />

I had an idea for a Christmas Gift I wanted to make but couldn't find the right pattern. I really </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wanted to use this super soft faux fur we have called Caribou. So I combined bit and pieces of a couple patterns I found on Ravelry and played around for a while. The result is a hot water bottle cozy I am calling FUR BOTTLE.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
FUR BOTTLE uses one ball each of Caribou and Berrocco Comfort.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It knits up in a flash. The majority of the cozy bottle is knit on a 7mm needle with a strand of each of Caribou and Comfort. If you are interested, we have Caribou and Comfort in several colours.</div>

I am attracted to colourful and unusual yarns. As much as I enjoy them, it can sometimes be a challenge to find a pattern which works well with a yarn with which you have fallen in love. Artelia is a new yarn to us. Colours are great and each strand is a double twist of wool and metallic ribbon. </div>

I have been eyeing one particular colour for a couple of weeks now and I just could not resist any longer.</div>

I struggled for a bit and finally decided on a variant of Marian Cowl, a FREE pattern on Ravelry.</div>

I have knit several variations of Marian Cowl using different yarns and varying the size. It is easy, quick and reversible, with one very interesting twist. And I do mean twist. You know that twist every knit in the round pattern warns you to avoid when you join and begin a circular knit. Marian Cowl tells you to put that twist in on purpose. Then you just knit away like normal and as you knit a double twist appears. It sort of looks strange, but if you are knitting a short single wrap cowl, if you put that twist to the front under your chin, it creates a thick cushy cowl that is gathered by the twist to fit comfortably under your chin.</div>

I cast on 75 sts with a 24", 7mm circular, put in the twist and knit away using 2 balls (130 meters).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am very happy with the cowl which resulted. It is 7.5" deep and 29" in circumference. If you are not sure about the twist, try out the store sample. I think you might like it.</div>
