never follow directions: November 2011

http://neverfollowdirections.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Monday, November 28, 2011. I'm returning to you with a couple intoxicating (tee hee! Directionless recipes. Hold on to your pants! Jenna's Drunken Sweet Potatoes. I'm tempted to call these "yams," but I have been informed that technically, yams are not available in North America. But the name has so much more flow. Yam. Jenna's Drunken Yams (see? Some sweet potatoes (I used a 3 lb bag, but after peeling, may have been 2.5 lbs. You know, if you want to be precise.). Also, a crockpot. 15 tsp of whole cloves.

never follow directions: May 2012

Wednesday, May 30, 2012. Pecan butter: made up recipes are easy and delicious! I toasted something like 3/4 cup of raw, whole pecans for maybe 15 minutes. They looked a little burnt so I whipped 'em out of the oven post haste. Then I processed them into a meal with the food processor, sprinkled some brown sugar in there (maybe half a cup or less? And dumped a whole tub of whipped butter (a cup? The whipped butter is perfect because it's spreadable all the time! A moment of genius struck when Pablo. I lik...

never follow directions: what does the yarn want to be?

http://neverfollowdirections.blogspot.com/2011/10/what-does-yarn-want-to-be.html

Monday, October 17, 2011. What does the yarn want to be? The only actually in-focus picture I have of this. If only I could stop my past self right here, but I know I had the sleeves finished elsewhere. So, Saturday night, after binging on tea, I pulled this out of the closet and took it all apart. Then I spent the next day researching sweater patterns, and finding nothing that piqued my interest. I had an architecture professor once who suggested we think, "what does the brick want to be?

never follow directions: things that get me excited

http://neverfollowdirections.blogspot.com/2012/06/things-that-get-me-excited.html

Thursday, June 21, 2012. Things that get me excited. I've had this yarn for a couple years now - 11 skeins of 50% merino and 50% yak. Yak! It's soft and warm and light and would be perfect for a nice wintery sweater. Except I kind of hate the color. So I threw a swatch into a pot with a tiny drop of orange food coloring and voila! I am so pumped about this, it's ridiculous. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What's wrong with directions? I like making things. beyond that, i don't really know.

http://neverfollowdirections.blogspot.com/2012/08/some-pictures-of-things-i-made.html

Thursday, August 30, 2012. Some pictures of things i made! I can't flatter myself by saying you all have noted my absence, but just in case you have, I've been busy doing a lot of studying and keeping a secret second blog. By which I mean, not updating a secret second blog or. The first, non-secret blog. I've really bitten off more than I can chew. But I'm still doing crafty things as often as I can!

never follow directions: July 2011

http://neverfollowdirections.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 28, 2011. You can't get more green than this. For real, right? I got this yarn a while back - luscious two-ply laceweight cashmere. Except I never knew what to make with it, because it was this hideous olive drab. Who makes cashmere in camouflage colors? I guess if my Army Reserves friend had ever been shipped out, and I was a nicer person, I could have given him a color-coordinated scarf - but that's not what cashmere was made for (sorry Droo! I took another picture, just for fun. Oh, and...

Monday, February 22, 2010. The rest of Cardiff. Considering I have not finished my Cardiff weekend I will now continue:. Sunday morning found the three of us not quite getting out of bed as quickly as we should have.oddly enough I was the first one out of bed. After a quick shower I went down to breakfast soon joined by Maria and Katherine. Instead of the orange marmalade I used apricot.and it brought back memories! When we grabbed our bags we said goodbye to the staff at The River House, traded informat...

Crossing Ponds: April 2010

http://guirl-across-the-pond.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 25, 2010. Well, I am back. Yes, I have finally made it back to York after one of the craziest trips of my life. You of course have already heard of my time in Spain, but you have not heard of the other places I have been.and there is a lot to tell. So lets just jump in. We were going to take across the channel. The Market was really neat and is destined to be visited again. It was soo cool! If I could have I would have taken that duvet with me. But I did not have any room. This should catch...
