Pair 1 - Some plain vanilla socks made from Arne & Carlos Regia, 2459 Siljan, in honour of Arne & Carlos launcing their new sock yarn. The self patterning in this sock is so fun and makes them fly off my needles.
Pair 2 - These socks were made using a pattern called Minecraft Socks by Heather Cox and they have a really delightful bouncy texture that makes them easy to love. The yarn is one I've saved and petted for more than a few years. It was made with a sock yarn from Flock Fibre Studio in a colourway aptly named Cookies for Santa, I love the pops of red and green, extremely festive.
I tried some new recipes in November. Both, of course, were from the genius of Ruth Tam at Cook Til Delicious.
Baking 1 - Marshmallow-Stuffed Ginger Molasses Cookies, these tasted absolutely incredible. My timing was a tad off and my marshmallow melting got away from me, so not as gooey as they should have been, but definitely did not affect the taste.
Baking 2 - Lemon Almond Poppy Seed Loaf, mine isn't as pretty as Ruth's, both because I do not own a Pullman pan and because I am not as talented a baker as she is. But the flavour was fabulous and we devoured this sucker in one day.
In other news, I helped out a friend and crocheted a sweet baby blanket called Crochet Pattern Alphabet Baby Blanket Puff Stitch by Pam. It can be fun to try patterns I wouldn't normally gravitate towards and I was making puff stitches in my dreams for weeks after!
