Brownies are good. No two ways about it. Blondies are actually my favorite as I'm not the biggest fan of chocolate in any form. (I know - first lobster, and now chocolate....) After seeing Browniebabe's monthly brownie line up here I just couldn't hold out any longer. I wanted something different. Not a typical brownie. I found a great solution with Jess's Recipe. They came out just as she predicted - last night they were cakey and moist. I have yet to try them today, but I'm looking forward to them becoming a bit more dense and fudgy. They were a bit more work than a normal brownie - I had to pull out the blender - but it was a great result with a big glass of milk. Hubby approved.

Speaking of sweets - have you seen these incredible knit topped cupcakes? How cute are they! Perfect for any knit and food gathering! They are so detailed - she did an amazing job!

Monkey sock #2 chuggs along. I still can't believe what a quick knit these are. I have only had a few limited nights this week to work on them, and I am already halfway through the heel flap. With the four hour ride to Vermont this afternoon, I see lots of car knitting! I do plan on having my friend Ivy try them on when we are in Vermont this weekend - she has the same size foot as my sister. The last socks I did for her were DK weight, and since these are fingering weight, I want to get a "second foot opinion" before I kitchner the toe and send them off.

Sorry for the sporadic posting as of late - life has been a little hectic! I hope to get back to more regular posting in the next few weeks. Have a wonderful weekend!
