Temple of Flora Done!
As usual, please forgive the terrible indoor nighttime light. It’s not done done – it’s blocking right now, and I need to weave in a few ends. But mostly, it’s done!

Arachne Progress
I decided to leave the body on scrap yarn for a while and finish off the sleeves, then go back and finish the body. The first sleeve is going fine – just plain stockinette, so it’s sailing along.

Now that I’m at the stockinette part, it is sailing right along!

Funny cake is a Pennsylvania Dutch dessert, which I like to call “the cake pie of my people”. It is just that, a pie with cake and chocolate sauce in it. The funny part comes… Continue reading Funny Cake
