So that experiment seems to be going well. I haven't planted the onion seeds yet, due to a combination of rain, visitors and gin. If the broccoli doesn't die I won't have anywhere to plant them out to anyway.As for the other experiments... The yoghurt cheese was deemed a success, although the dried apples in the apple and cinnamon one ended up a bit big. I cut the pieces up as small as I had the patience to do, but they grew a fair bit during the "cooking" process. At any rate, the principle proved to be sound.
I also managed to knit an actual thing from a pattern. Here we have crazy stripey hat:
For my next trick, I'm going to attempt a vest. But before getting started on that, I couldn't resist the temptation to try knitting two socks at the same time on one pair of needles. It doesn't actually seem that hard, provided you use a different colour yarn for each sock so you don't get them confused. I estimate that it will only take me a little bit longer than it would have taken to knit two socks one at a time, which sort of raises the question of the point of the whole exercise. I'll let you know if I work it out before I finish them.
And the last thing is a new toy!
Between the new toy and learning to knit, surely now I can conquer the world!
