Not really a problem so much as a frustration. The arm stripes on the
Delancey Cardigan do not match with one another. Likely the reason is that I was distracted and did an enormous number of short rows, about 20 too many, on the right sleeve. But since the left sleeve is coming along nicely, I have canoodled over the problem enough to realize that I can simple cut a thread on the right sleeve cap after the appropriate number of short rows, create a provisional cast on, unravel enough grey to match the left side, and then when it counts/looks more or less right, graft that left sleeve together again. And toss that extra yarn. Maybe.

Next week the husband will make bread (his blog is
here and his bread recipes are
here and
here). He has a bread with pumpkin added in that
he wrote about here. Gene has a great recipe for pita bread
here. He has
Ciabatta Bread written out also! His recipes (truly his own) are a blog post in themselves, but go take a look at his
Grand Life Food & Cooking.
I'll stir up a crock pot of taco soup for our Lutheran Church and its weekly Lenten soup lunches after noon services and we will contribute bread and soup for the communicants.
The taco soup I like not only has the traditional tomatoes, beef, hominy, several beans, etc. but also adds some Ranch Dressing (dry) and lots of spices. Maybe too spicy for the older crowd? There are usually about 30 people who stay for lunch after the noon service, mostly retired codgers like ourselves. (Last week we did have a few kids and parents there as well, probably because is was Spring Break for the school district.)
The wind has been blowing mightily and the leaves are everywhere. Here is one last look at our back area from the porch. I'll try my hand at painting a picture of the bare tree trunks with light and shadows.
Looking forward to next week's art show over the weekend at
George Callison will be the main judge.
What is on your agenda?
