Oh you know I never showed you guys these.

[cpolk]

here's the Ravelry page on them as well.

I finished them a while back, since the photo doesn't feature any snow. cast on using judy's magic cast on, the heel turn is fleegle. I did both socks simultaneously on a 2.5mm 60 in circular using magic loop.

Next thing: my latest order from The Spice House is here! I went in on a larger order with athenaps and I picked up:

Chai Spice Mix - this was part of the housewarming package I got. it's a great mix. I actually got the 8oz bag so I don't run out any time soon.

Thai Red Curry Powder - the Maharajah style curry powder I got from the housewarming box was SO GOOD that I got their Garam Masala blend, which is also amazing, so it's on to the thai red blend. I'll probably do up a curry and some rice and omnomnom it all down, hurrah!

Ginger powder - this is how i'm going to try to get more ginger in the carrot soup recipe. I've found myself wishing I had some powdered rather than fresh, so here it is.

Ground Aniseed - I got this one as a way to expand my collection. I keep thinking about baking, and I know that I like this in my chai - I know, I got a mix, but sometimes I like to blend a pot by hand.

Whole Nutmegs - For eggnog, of course! and more baking. and I suspect it would be quite nice in soup. again, expansion of the collection.

Culinary Lavender - part of the Herbs de Provence blend. I actually use lavender in cooking to add a particular mysetrious note to the flavorings. a tiny pinch will show up.
