Pattern Release Day!

I was a test knitter for Tasha Moss (of Tasha Could Make That)newest pattern, Midge (Ravelry link to pattern).  It's such a fun quick knit I made two!   Very pleased with both, but the second one I made is my favourite.

Tasha writes such clear and detailed instructions, with great advice for customization, that I have made two versions of a couple of her patterns. And I almost never make more than one item from a pattern (except for socks-those are all the same).

November, 29 – Throw Out Your Leftovers Day: How do you feel about leftovers? Are you happy to eat the same food more than once in a row, or do you crave variety in your diet? Do you take leftovers home from a restaurant when/if you eat out?       Absolutely we eat leftovers, not going to throw out food!  Some times we cook extra just to have leftovers (aka planned-overs).  We very rarely eat out, but yes, leftovers come home with us.

And speaking of not throwing out food, locally we have access to a community resource centre associated with Second Harvest, a group dedicated to reducing/eliminating food waste.  So, sometimes the leftovers we eat come from other sources including grocery stores, restaurants and even the local care home. 

P.S.  Second Harvest has a great number of resources on their site for ways you can reduce your own food waste and save money on groceries at the same time.  The "Best Before Timetable" is eye opening.
