I'm a snacker. I snack. I snack too much, to be completely honest. My favorite snacks are salty: chips, popcorn, pretzels. This isn't good for many reasons, not least of which is the oil & other stuff in potato chips (snack of the champions).

I'm sure many of you have seen the recipe(s) for microwave potato chips. Fast forward to 2 days ago. Normally I have really excellent Google-Fu but this time I just couldn't find anywhere to get one locally (or on this side of the border). This is when the brain jump kicked in in earnest. Of course, the minute I got home I had the scissors out and was constructing my chip maker. Here's what I did. **Of course, please use caution when cutting the potatoes, when using the microwave etc. Cut a kleenex box or other piece of cardboard to the size you want. For the first rack I carefully measured 1/4" spacing and cut on the lines. When you have your slits cut, cut away every other flap to create spaces for your potato slices. After 5 minutes in total. V and Co how to: jersey knit bracelet. I don't know what it is about this time of year that makes me just want to have my bare feet in the sand, be watching the sun setting into the ocean, and breathing in the warm salty air of the beach...as i get older, more and more i find myself missing that place i used to go to almost every.single.day. as a teen.

(my skin doesn't miss it. as a matter of fact, i now wish i listened more and DID put SPF on my face...hindsight is 20/20). my mom calls me from her walk on the beach almost every morning... *sigh*yeah, i get a little homesick around this time of the year. heck on my pinterest my "dreaming of summer" has the most pictures in it. ah yes. i miss my ocean. case in point. this bracelet, brought a flood of memories, not because i used to have one like it but because i can totally see me wearing it by the beach, not caring that it's gotten salty and wet, because i can totally make another one in like less than 5 minutes flat when i get home.

Tutorial--T-Shirt Yarn. **This tutorial is intended for personal use only.** About 5 years ago, I prepared a tutorial with pictures showing how to create yarn from cotton t-shirts.

Wouldn't you know it, when I looked for it this morning to post to my blog, it was nowhere to be found. I want to apologize in advance for the quality of this new tutorial. It was done early this morning when the lighting was poor. T-shirt yarn is a very durable yarn. Okay, I will start off by saying that I have had these t-shirts sitting around my house for over 3 months just taking up space. Luckily the t-shirts that I have to work with are in a good array of colors so eventually it will give me a nice variety to work with. **Please note that only the unprinted, plain portions of the t-shirts are suitable to make into yarn. Start by placing a t-shirt onto a flat work surface. Using a sharp scissor or rotary cutter and ruler, cut away the bottom hem. Fold it once more, making sure that you keep the 1-inch margin at the top.

ChemKnits. I made my first sweater when I was 18... and haven't made a sweater since then (I am 27 now.) It is time for me to give it another shot. I haven't been scared to make a sweater, but I have been afraid of my fluctuating weight and being unable to wear something I worked hard to finish. Enough worrying... Here I go! 6 balls of Swish DK yarn in Indigo Heather. My bust measures 35/36 inches, so I'll have to see how my swatch goes before I select which size (M or S) to make.

First swatch: Size 4 needles - cast on 28 sts . Second swatch - size 6 needles. Third Swatch - size 8 needles. I don't want to be afraid to rip out this project and start over if I'm not happy. I LOVE the swish DK yarn. The yoke of the sweater. It was a little hard to get into the rhythm of the lacy ribbing at the bottom of the sweater, but after the first round it was easy to keep track of the pattern. 34 g remaining of the 6th ball. Finished dimensions of my sweater. I cannot articulate how happy I am with this sweater.

Stricken & Spinnen: Annkaris Blog. Samstag, 31. August 2013 14:55 Letzte Woche war ich strickend in der Weltgeschichte unterwegs, zuerst mit dem Zug nach Bremen. Den Sherlock-pinken Koffer hatte ich mir kurz vorher noch zugelegt, damit er auch auf jeden Fall als Ryan-Air-Handgepäckstück durchgeht. Hat prima geklappt! Die Sockenanleitung für die Cable Rib Socks stammt aus dem Buch Favorite Socks. Ich habe diese Socken vor ein paar Jahren schon mal gestrickt und trage sie immer noch sehr gerne. Damals habe ich zwar gesagt, ich würde das Muster nicht noch einmal stricken, aber das war mir in der Zwischenzeit wohl entfallen.

Nach dem Zugsocking gab’s Flugsocking – nach London. Leider hatte ich mir die Anleitung nicht so genau angesehen und nicht gemerkt, dass ich nach ein paar Zentimetern auf dünnere Nadeln hätte umsteigen sollen. Unterwegs hat die Reisesocke auch einiges an Sehenswürdigkeiten mitbekommen. Die Reisesocke ist auch wieder heil zu Hause angekommen. Patchwork stricken und mehr. Make a Plant Press. The frosty, bloomless months of winter offer their own charms as mosses, lichens, and mushrooms pop from every moist nook under the forest canopy, but who doesn’t long for the sun filled beauty of handpicked wildflowers? The colorful blossoms of spring and summer can be enjoyed year round with one simple tool that is easily crafted during a lazy afternoon at home. Plant presses have been used for hundreds of years to dry and preserve specimens for safe travel across vast continents and rough seas. Explorers would guard their botanical treasures like gold, hoping to return home with a variety of floral curiosities for later identification, taxonomic cataloging, and even cherished supplies for artwork.

Presses can be small enough to carry in your hiking pack, perfect for collecting herbaceous plant leaves, roots, and flowers as you wander, or they can be made large enough to press a towering Verbascum thapsus from your garden, root to flower.
