The Fiber Event

The Fiber Event at Putnum County Fair Grounds is today and tomorrow. I will be going tomorrow morning. I'm excited. It doesn't look like the weather will be any better than it was last year, which was cold and rainy, but I'll make do.

Sleeves

Normally I knit sleeves first...but I didn't. Here is the start of the sleeve, which unfortunately I started awhile ago, and haven't gotten very far.




Did you see those Darn Pretty needles? Well, then let me give you a closer look:

They should have been called Damn Beautiful needles...

Don't Know What to Call it Pasta


I love taking fresh ingredients I have laying around and combining them with a simple sauce and pasta. I make all different kinds of pastas and I can never think of names for them because there are so many, most just variations of each other. This one has onions, carrots, sun dried tomatoes, garlic, and herbs sauteed in olive oil and then simmered in about 1/2 cup of white wine. While the veggies are cooking, I boil water and cook the pasta (always salt the water!). Before I drain the pasta, I add a few scoops of the pasta water to my "sauce" to thicken it up. Then, toss in the pasta, let it simmer for a minute or two and enjoy!


Simple pasta dishes like this are a staple for me. They are quick, easy, and you can throw anything in it you like!
