TWiP: Hot Dogs, Glazed Carrots, and Strawberries

This week I had grilled hot dogs twice. My favorite Summer meal. And I whipped up a little heart-healthy strawberry dessert for Neil’s birthday. As for glazed carrots? I actually think carrots are much better raw than they are cooked, so in this case, “glazed carrot” refers to that lovely orangey-red in the shawl I’ve been knitting. It’s the name Malabrigo gave to that color 😀

So, what is This Week in Pictures?

It’s a roundup of the photos I shot for Project 365 (the occasional when-I-feel-like-it theme for 2017 is “words”), plus some snapshots I posted on Instagram during the previous week.

365 📷: 2017 227/365 – I sat down at the clay table for the first time in a while tonight. I was trying to copy an old cane that I no longer remember how to make. I didn’t do half bad, but it’s not perfect. I have to decide if it’s good enough, or if I need to buy more clay and try again.

  1. I love the way this shawl is coming along now. All that light color in one spot was a bit jarring before.

    1. I agree. This is much better. I can’t wait to finish it, but I’ve run out of yarn and can’t work on it all weekend!

  2. Busy week!! Love the shawl and all!
