Oh!!!!!!!!!!! The pressure!!!!!!!!!!!

I am listening to my readers and posting the recipe for sponge cakes that we were given at our last CWA handcraft get together.

DD and I tried this recipe and it came out beautifully and didn't last very long at all.

It was soooooooooooooo scrummy.

On the knitting front I have completed my cable rib socks in Patonyle (no pickies as yet) and have also completed the main part of Baby Norgi from Knitty.

Today I wanted to do something different so I knit a childs glove with some Patonyle that was leftover from my cable rib socks. The pattern is from my new Patonyle accessories book that I won in the WWW sock comp.

Oh well it's time to finish cooking tea so I must go. Tonight we are having grilled blade steak with home grown veg (potatoes, corn and beans) then we will be having lemon fluff for dessert.

Until next time keep on knitting.
