Happy Lunar New Year! It’s the Year of the Snake!
I came across these super cute socks called Year of the Snake Socks by Marie Elyse-Dugal selling for about $3.64 on Ravelry. I just LOVE the cable swirls all up the entire sock. Cascade Heritage would be perfect for these socks with their solid/tonal colors. One needs those beautiful cables to be seen. Wearing these socks may give you good luck all year!
And just around the corner is Valentine’s day, and besides hearts, I think of chocolate. (I do love my chocolate) I saw this pattern for Chocolate Swirl mittens and think they are so cute. (Swirls must be on my mind…) They are by Janet Welsh Knits and sell for about $3.64 on Ravelry. They also use fingering weight yarn, so Cascade Heritage would work nice here, too, but if you were going for a different color other than chocolate, I think a variegated yarn would also work, so Square Peg yarns would be fun, or Malabrigo Ultimate Sock. I sure could’ve used a pair of mittens like this, what with the weather we’ve been having, during my walks!
Speaking of chocolate, I’d love to share with you a favorite Hot Fudge Sauce recipe of mine that’s a thousand times better than anything you can buy. Try making this for your loved ones and swirl some on their ice cream and see how much they’ll thank you!
Hot Fudge Sauce
¾ cup sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa
½ cup heavy whipping cream
4 Tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
1 teaspoon vanilla
In a heavy 1-quart saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa, cream, and butter; heat to boiling over high heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Serve warm, or cool completely, then cover and refrigerate up to 2 weeks. Gently reheat before using.
