Lovely as a lap blanket as well as a good thick shoulder warmer when folded. Lovely classic EZ garter with a simple border. I often make just the ctenre sans border as a baby gift.<br /><br />On the dinner question, one could always make two things, one of them experimental, and if both are successful slot one away in the fridge for reheating tomorrow.<br /><br />Judith in OttawaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-86956676372198539712014-02-15T17:05:01.999+00:002014-02-15T17:05:01.999+00:00How about this?

I use left over J&S jumper weight and 4.5 mm needles. Like Elizabeth, I reach into the bag of yarn without looking and simply add the new colour with a spit join. To prevent falling asleep, I do a "yo k2tog" every l0th row. 200 stitches in each of the four sections will give you a shawl that blocks to about 64 inches square. Very versatile - square blanket, fold in half, a triangular shawl. AND my bags of left over wool greatly reduced. <br />Ron in Mexico ron in mexicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116953864892018638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-27112978069488365242014-02-15T13:01:55.332+00:002014-02-15T13:01:55.332+00:00And perhaps Jared Flood's Hemlock Ring Blanket...And perhaps Jared Flood's Hemlock Ring BlanketMoorecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04231619758940001287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-39358891473450379272014-02-15T12:58:24.435+00:002014-02-15T12:58:24.435+00:00If you made the beef alongside another supper, you...If you made the beef alongside another supper, you could reheat the other supper the next day (I'm thinking of something like lasagne or hot pot), freeze it for another time or have the beef cold on sandwiches?<br />Moorecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04231619758940001287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-49825871902579229162014-02-15T09:59:28.905+00:002014-02-15T09:59:28.905+00:00Ctrl-Z was me (but possibly others also).
