Knitting by red headlamp is entertaining, especially when you are doing reversing panels on a pillowcase. They ended up beautiful though. Nine anchors on each side of a pillowcase using a soft sporting weight yarn in "tapestry." It's really a pale rainbow. Oh, it was made with yarn, not bread pudding.
The bread pudding was, you guessed it, made in the pressure cooker. It was quite tasty and sat well in my belly warming me up on watch while I knitted. Watch has been cold with piercing winds. Bundled up to the hilt, I am still at the point where I wrap a blanket around my legs. We are running 6-8 at night though, so I will take the chill. The days have been slow, but I think part of that is how close we are getting ot San Diego, things are starting to drag out. The good side is that I feel like I have been able to get more done in the hours I have.
I am almost done reading the first of the Percy Jackson series to Poseidon and Laralei. They are enjoying it this time. We read it to Poseidon when he was ten months old. Completely uninterested. If we don't keep reviewing the classics, we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past. These books are a nice intro. Debating on Hunger Games...we'll see. Great modern twist on Rome's demise. Read all three books on consecutive watches. I don't know how she elicits such a vivid picture in so few words, but she does. If Tolken had had that art, The Hobbit would have been 1/3 its size. Don't get me wrong, I still love it, but it is a bit word heavy. Panem et (insert knitting here in latin) :)
