- Read a new author, or just a book I’ve been
meaning to for years
- Try a new ingredient/food/recipe
- Explore a new place
- Something knittingly new
April’s achievements
- A new author – A lovely friend gave me Heartburn
by Nora Ephron for my birthday and I read it in April. Chicklit with a few
recipes thrown in – perfect for relaxation.
- My new food was buckwheat. I’ve used buckwheat
flour and cooked buckwheat noodles before. This time I cooked the seeds
and ate some hot with fish and then cold with salads for a couple of days.
I think some even found their way to my husband’s stomach!
- My new place was The Oxford Yarn Store. As soon as
Bert and I found out about it, we
knew we were destined to visit. We were accompanied by a non-knitting
friend who seemed quite happy to stroke yarn even if she doesn't knit
it! It is always exciting to find new yarn shops – and this one has a
lovely café that served gluten-free stuffed pancakes for a delicious lunch!
- I didn’t really do anything knittingly new,
unless a top knitted all as one piece (only sides and under arms to sew
up) counts. I did make a start on my plan to sew myself some clothing
though and cut out a pattern. I was then thwarted by the fabric not being
big enough but I am not letting that put me off my sewing plans. I am
thinking of it as babysteps and may get as far as the sewing machine soon.
I may tweak that part of the challenge to be something craftily new
*strokes beard thoughtfully*
