Chocolate cheese made on 10/31. Lines of cocoa running through it. Natural rind tomme (honey, oil, cocoa mixture coated on outside after the first 4 weeks aging). #cheesemaking #cheese #PandemicHobby

Alpine tomme update - after about three weeks of fighting blue mold in an aging cave that has relative humidity that is about 5 percentage points too high, the good mold began appearing today to begin forming a natural rind. #cheesemaking #cheese #PandemicHobby

Making that breakfast cheese tomorrow, @Squirrel #cheesemaking #cheese #PandemicHobby

I don’t know about this St. Maure I made, @Squirrel. The goat cheese cave is getting pretty smelly. I did not think that one was smelly! #cheesemaking #cheese #PandemicHobby

This is the inside of one of my cheese aging caves after 1.5 weeks off. There’s a second one with hard cheeses in it, too! #cheesemaking #cheese #PandemicHobby #GoatCheese

One down - three to go!

Normally I make a lot of changes to patterns to hit the way I crochet but I didn’t make to this. Well written.

It doesn’t have to be complicated or fancy to make me smile. I love this little star. Well, maybe not this star since it’s the wrong yarn, but think of all the possibilities

Aren’t these the prettiest colors? I bought this yarn for socks but It just isn’t right so I’ve held onto it for a year trying to figure out what to do with it. Now that I’m making a gazillion hand hugs it seemed like a good fit. Hopefully after a wash it softens up a bit.

Crochet sausages? NO!
Balloon Dog! This was a simple pattern but oh there is a learning curve for the connection. Next one will be better.

My first larger size “manly” pair. :)
Into the wash tonight - delivery tomorrow or Friday.
I may have to make myself a pair out of this yarn,very soft and cozy. Of course that might just be all the dog fur stuck in them

Todays experiment in fibers. I wanted to take my fingerless gloves to the next level and add a flap. It didn’t seem like it would be too hard. I think I’ve used three different sock techniques to get this! When I was learning how to knit last year someone was aghast that I started with socks and said “if you can do socks, you can do anything”. I don’t agree but you sure do learn all the basics!

I have been knitting this 2nd sock for what feels like months, though it’s only been a few days. It amuses me that my 2nd ball of yarn is different than the first as you can see in the black & what portions. I don’t mind so much since they’re just for me.
I really just want to knit a sweater now though. Probably because of the first #$%#@$% snow

@plausocks So many people I have been bumping into lately have apparently taken up baking as a #pandemichobby I think it's really cool!
