On the road to China, a frog in a sock ate arugula

The weather turned seasonally chilly again, so we ate inside. (The arugula salad with parmesan and a lemon dressing was especially delicious.) Unfortunately, the good camera wasn't available, so we have just a couple of cell phone shots.

First, look at this beautiful Road To China yarn. See the frayed end at the lower left? Somehow this subtly lustrous denim-blue yarn with purple highlights has a bright blue-green core. It's like magic. Buttery, squeezable magic.

In more painful news, Erin frogged part of her nearly finished Tangled Yoke cardigan so she could fix the top. No pictures were taken because it hurt to see her tearing such a beautiful thing apart (button band and all), but we'll try to get a pic when it's finished.

And finally, Jen's working on her second sock of a pair that look like this (but even better):

No FOs, but lots of food and yarn

No one brought any finished objects (aka FOs) to our last lunch, but as this picture shows, there was plenty of food and yarn. This blog might turn out to be as much about food as it is about knitting. 

In focus: Crystal Palace Merino 5 in saucy pink and orange

In front: Rum-cooked pineapple (sprinkled with coconut) and a bit of clafoutis
