Snow day!

Snow, sleet, ice... boy do I love Maine. Seriously, I've had enough of this weather. I didn't go outside all day. I did make 4 dozen cookies and candy. This week I'm going to two cookie swaps, so it had to be done. For the cookie swaps I made my "White Chocolate Peppermint Bark" - not exactly a cookie, but then no one else will bring the same one!

White Chocolate Peppermint Bark
12oz package white chocolate chips
15 mini-candy canes or 5 regular candy canes
1. Crush candy canes into very small pieces.
2. Place white chocolate in microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for 1 minute. Stir. Heat again for 30 seconds. Stir. This may take more intervals – just don’t let it go too long in microwave without stirring.
3. Pour candy cane pieces in melted white chocolate and stir.
4. Pour mixture on wax paper and smooth out so it’s about ¼” thick. Let cool.

5. Break into 1-2” pieces.

I did manage to get some knitting done this weekend. Since I have some left over homespun I couldn't help myself and made a headband. It's very Christmasy and cute! I did an easy cable - 6 by 6 (3 red, 3 white). I love easy projects like this.

I'm still working on my sweater. The ribbon is not going to work - it's just too bid to sinch. So now I'm going to leave it loose and add a hood. Should be cute and comfortable just like that. As soon as it's done I'll post the pictures!
