New tank top and dessert
Here is my newest knitted tank top:
At first, I was displeased with it. I used 3 skeins left over from my sweater, but one of them had patches of discoloration, which became little grey stitches. Then I realized I could do "duplicate stitches" -- i.e., use a darning needle to put yarn over the offending stitches.
You might ask: "Why didn't you return the yarn, Bearette?"
Answer: The yarn is non-returnable after you have them spin it into a ball for you. Plus, I had already done a bunch of knitting by the time the spots appeared.
The tank top also called for crochet. The straps are chain stitch and the edges are single crochet.
Also, I had a really good dessert tonight. It was a little bowl of puff pastry, half-filled with maple almond custard (but it was vegan, so no eggs) and splashed with berries. Yum.

I also love puff pastry...actually, I love most pastry...puff or non-puff! :)
I'm branching out and using light green for my next piece (a shrug to wear in air-conditioning)!
And yum on the pastry! I'm sooo craving something sweet now, though. Darn you.
