I just started knitting my first pair of socks after 25 years of doing other projects. Super excited to make a pair of socks from a World War One pattern.

Nifty colored yarn, think "halloween colors" (magenta/purple, slime green, black, forest green, sparkly purple threads). Might be using the wrong size needles but eh, let's go for broke!

I'm considering modding my Stardew Valley game yet again. Haven't maxed out all the things, tedium is creeping in.

Hopefully this shows up okay. Local church society cookbook. I can transcribe the photos if there's interest. Favorite recipe for frosting is Nancy's Fluffy White Frosting - great with a simple chocolate cake (our family used it with a Krazy Cake, recipe forthcoming).
