leg warmies…..

or leg cuties!!!! I can’t stop holding them up saying ‘ohhhhhh dey are soooo keeeeeeewt’! I think they take me back to knitting in primary school when I desperately wanted to make a pair of leg warmers for ballet but just never managed to finish them…..always dropping a stitch or starting all over again! Keira put them on as soon as they were finished and adores them and I feel the need to get started on another pair straight away!

I made these in debbie bliss baby cashmerino and a spotlight fine merino (keira approved the colour choice), 3.25 dpn’s (you’ve just got to get past the first 2 rounds and you’re fine if dpn’s scare the life out of you) and the lovely pattern is free!

breakfast muffins

I couldn’t face toast this morning after eating it all day yesterday, I couldn’t find anything that I wanted in the fridge or cupboards and didn’t have everything I needed to make my favourite recipes so made up my own muffins…….low fat and perfect for breakfast!

2 Tbsp margerine
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
1 small apple chopped up
1 cup chopped dried fruit and nuts (I used dates and pistachios)
3-4Tbsp water

Gently combine softened margerine, sugar, eggs, flour and baking powder. Add in fruit, nuts and water and gently combine for a few seconds then spoon into muffin pans…bake for 20 minutes in 180 degree oven or until cooked inside. enjoy warm……eat as many as you want…no need to disclose how many I ate this morning………..
