Moderne Update
The baby blanket is coming along. As in all things, I have less time to knit than I wish, but I’ve found that garter stitch is great while you’re watching television or reading a book. Now if I could figure out a way to knit and work at the same time, I’d be golden. People around here just don’t seem to understand that just because I’m knitting that doesn’t mean I’m not paying attention!
I’m not as far along as I had planned to be, but I have 5 of the 12 blocks done. Unfortunately, the blocks get progressively larger so I’m not yet to the half way point. This weekend should provide some good knitting time – holiday weekends seem to involve sitting around and chatting, and once you get the stitches picked up for a block, it truly is mindless.
I had planned to make Easter cake pops on Saturday, but now I’m wondering if I should just make pound cake or cupcakes (check these out!) or this oreo cake! I told my mom I’d make rolls and dessert since she’s doing ham. I always go completely overboard with the holiday baking and I’m wondering if maybe I should think about that before I go nuts on cake pop supplies. What do you think?
The second chapter of More Than You Know will be up tomorrow so you have something to read over the weeknd!

That Oreo cake looks awesome, but I’m partial to cupcakes these days! Blankie is looking good! (I made Bakerella’s chocolate cupcakes today, by the way, and thought they were terrific! I only got 24 (she said 36), though. Her buttercream frosting recipe was fabulous.

Looks like you are making rapid progress… I think it’s just the nature of garter to appear to stretch on forever with no visible change.

I’ve been wanting to make the cake pops/balls ever since I saw them two months ago. I currently live in Japan though, and can’t get chocolate to cover them in cheaply enough to make it worth it, as all of the other ingredients are very expensive here too (and there’s no boxed or canned stuff to cheat with!).
I say you’ve got enough going on, but I’d totally make those too if it were me!

I think you should make more cake pops. I just do.

I love this blanket. I made one but spoilt it with the sewing so next time I will knit it in one piece.
