I went to a Fall Arts Festival last Saturday. I bought this hand spun wool from a lady that lives in Groton, South Dakota. she raises the sheep, and cleans the wool and spins it all by herself.
I dyed it with Kool-Aid. I used strawberry, and pink lemonade flavors. To get this color. I think that I will either knit a pair of mittens with it. Or a hat. I haven't decided yet.
2 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup butterscotch chips
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 tbsp butter
3 cups Cheerios
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup flaked coconut
In a heavy saucepan, combine the marshmallows, chips, peanut butter, and butter. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until chips and marshmallows are melted. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cheerios, raisins, and coconut. Drop by 1/4 cupfuls onto waxed paper. Let stand for 10 minutes. Yield: 14-16 cookies
Apple Dump Cake
2 cans Apple pie filling
1/4 cup Brown sugar
1 package Butter pecan cake mix
1 cup Pecans; chopped
1 cup Margarine or butter
Spread 2 cans of apple filling in a 9 x 13 pan.
Sprinkle the sugar, then cake mix, then pecans over
apples. DO NOT STIR. Slice thin the 2 sticks of
margarine or butter and layer over top. Completely
cover cake. Bake at 350~ for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
I had time to knit a couple of dish cloths while we were on vacation. The first one is called the Baby Fern Stitch. The second one is called the Sand Stitch cloth.
I watched a video in You Tube with instructions on how to crochet this necklace. I used craft wire, and wooden beads. I think that it turned out real cute.
I was knitting this hat for my son Dillon. But when I finished the hat is turned out way to small. I am sure that I will find some one to give it to. The pattern can be found here at

My Knottyfriends group had a Knit Along Dishcloth. This is the dishcloth from that KAL. I used Sugar n Cream Twista yarn. The color Rose Twist.
