Think Pink!
June 20, 2006
Lots of pink stuff today, making my blog look like a big pink party!
I have decided to call the pink prepster the Pinkster, for obvious reasons :) I have been working away at it, somewhat obsessively, and it's going pretty well:
I forgot to say last time, but I definitely don't have enough yarn to make a whole prepster. I'm not sure how much of it I can make either....I'm going to leave off the pockets, and plan to make little sleeves. I hope I have enough for that! I guess time will tell.
I also picked the next thing I want to make from Happy Hooker - which I also have some yarn for - the Cold Shoulder capelet:
I have some Rowan Kid Soft in the stash, which I think should probably be ok. You can see it at the bottom of the current projects and stash page (link in the sidebar). I was pleased to see the fluffy capelet because I wasn't convinced about using the yarn for the fluffy vintage knits sweater anyway (it would make me far too hot).
Next (and last!) pink thing - me and Adam made some strawberry jam at the weekend:
I've made lots of chutneys before but never jam - it was pretty easy and (not to blow my own trumpet) SO tasty!
Pinkster updates next time, when hopefully I'll have finished the back and have a better idea of what I'll be able to do with the pattern.

you are a mighty fast crocheter, m'dear. it makes my hands turn into 'the claw' (did you ever see the friends episode where monica & chandler get an arcade game in their apartment and chandler gets the claw?)

I agree with Carolyn you are fast! Hope you have enough yarn it will be such a cute top!

All looking great Jen, Hope you and Adam are well! We would all love to see you both soon! Can I have some of your jam and chutney recipes. I could fancy trying my hand at some of those!

Hi, love the pinkness of your blog! And your jam looks great. Can I make a request for you to add knitting links to your site? I'd be interested in seeing who else you read or where you go for knitting info. Yay knitting! =)
