My mom promised me to knit me a sweater about a year ago. Today we picked out a pattern and yarn. I'm not sure how it will turn out, but I should be able to wearing it skiing if no where else.
I've made three batches of granola this weekend. I've been using this recipe as a starting point, but following it very loosely. I use oat bran instead of wheat germ and double the water. I've had good luck substituting honey or molasses for the maple syrup and usually cut the brown sugar in half (or omit it completely). Its still tasty if you cut the oil in half too. I like sliced cinnamon, almonds, coconut, and raisins as addins. I want to make an apple walnut batch, and maybe a tropical batch with pineapple, mango, macadamias, and coconut.
Other than that its been a quiet weekend. I've enjoyed having bearddevil and his girlfriend visiting. We took a nice long walk today and saw the sculpture garden. Seeing envirobitch and iguanawow was fun too. Next weekend should be less crazy. I want to finally starting making the black velvet bodice I've been thinking about for months.
