VEGAN PIZZA

I KNIT THIS! Actually, I made is from scratch, even the dough. It’s all vegan. I substituted the cheese for soft tofu. I know it sounds gross, but if you put the tofu the food processor with plenty of fresh garlic, dried parsley, oregano, basil and olive oil it tastes a lot like ricotta cheese. Just spoon it on the pizza after you add the sauce. Top with veggies. You can use the same tofu mixture in lasagna.

WHAT TO DO?

I purchased some hand dyed cotton yarn on clearance. It was my favorite color, cheap. I got 4 hanks or skeins. What’s the difference between a hank and a skein? I saw an pattern for a hat I might make with this. I just have to figure out the gauge.

The pattern is from the book Hollywood Knits Style by Suss Cousins. It is a simple ribbed hat that isn’t knit it in the round. It is made as one flat piece and seamed together.

I started a small spring scarf on size 15 needles with this yarn already, but I think I might switch to 11 instead. I haven’t gotten very far so I don’t mind starting over. Besides I think I cast on too many stitched. I want a narrow light scarf to wear with a T-shirt.

STASH

Here is a pic of my growing stash. I just bought some ribbon and fun yarns on clearance. I’m not sure what I will do with them, but I was thinking about mixing the two to make a scarf or small bag. I really like making bags. I have only made two projects and both are bags. Actually, I have finished one and the other bag is on the needles now. Well, the first bag is almost finished. I knitted it for my sister, Heather as a goof. It is really cheesey! It was the first thing I made besides a practice piece. I just have to finish putting it together and send it to her. As soon as she gets it I will post some pics. I don’t want to ruin her surprise!

It’s My Brithday!

I am 38 today. The good news is I’m not 40. The bad news is I’m 38.
