Pie and shawls...mostly

First off, I made a variation of key lime pie that was quite good (this recipe is close to what I used).  I was out of graham crackers for crust, so I used some crunchy granola I had lying around and I did use actual whipped cream on top...because whipped cream.

Admittedly, it wasn't perfect, though close enough to make the household happy.

The other project I allotted myself was blocking finished shawls so I could actually wear them.  There were just a few:

Some where around eighteen I think.
Naomh has been blocked:

As has my Dragon Tail and Out of Gas:

Sadly, this made me realize that I bound off Out of Gas too tightly.  I will eventually pick out the bind off and re-do it so it has the lovely points.

I hung a couple new pieces in my livingroom;  one hand stitched, the other from Evil Supply Co.

The "hive of scum and villainy" cross stitch was a freebie found randomly one evening on the internet.
There is one more piece to go with them, though it still needs to be framed:

I also made a par of Mrs. Weasley Mitts  out of the Sweet Race prize skein from Eat. Sleep. Knit.

Not my standard colors but the yarn base,Steamer Trunk from Mrs. Crosby  was glorious to work with!  The pattern was also outstanding, the stitch pattern makes for a lovely, warm, squishy fabric.

Everything else has been trying to get some of the multitude of in progress projects (probably close to two dozen within arms reach) off the needles.  Yarn buying has pretty much stopped.  There was the stuff on closeout I bought for a Dark and Stormy  and the skein of cashmere blend bought using store credit (with a name like Rose Anguish how could I not?).  I've even been using patterns out of my (rather extensive) pattern library.
With this approach, there can be hope that potential knitting projects will not fall out of most available storage space....eventually...maybe.
