Grape Nerds

[susandennis]

Every year at Halloween they (??) decorate the building and put plastic pumpkins full of candy by the elevators. There year there are little boxes of Grape Nerds. I love grape. I never heard of Nerds (the candy). I gave it a shot. Nope. Okdokey.

I actually got a fair bit done today. Cleaning and putting shit away. Things are under control again.

Then I made breakfast burritos. 10. 6 for the freezer and one for every day this week in the fridge.

I finally got my tunic cut out which was not easy with all the feline assistance. I didn't start sewing it yet. Probably tomorrow.

I decided to knit myself a cap using a technique I had not used in a really long time and, turns out, had forgotten! So it was more knitting lessons.

The technique is call two color Brioche and it looks like this.



I spent the afternoon 'remembering' how to do the stitch. I'm still practicing.

The boys went back to bed. The Smalls is the lump.

I had to go look up the brioche stitch and now have a pattern bookmarked for later. I love a new knitting challenge.

That is a really cool knitting stitch.

Nerds will absolutely crack your teeth. Hard pass.

What? I nearly always chew Nerds.

Now I really want some.

Oh, snap, I forgot I HAVE SOME in the Halloween candy I bought.

One of my friends was learning brioche knitting last year, and reported that it's very complicated. Maybe I should challenge myself to learn it, because the end results are beautiful.

I never liked the Nerds, either.

That cap looks awesome!

Nerds are rock candy coated with flavor and unlike you I love them, like I love rock candy.

I want some now but must resist because I've really been waging a completely illogical war on my teeth over the past two years.

Hi Biggie and The Smalls! <3

As a kid I Loooved NERDs, but I found boxes of them for sale at our Bulk Barn recently and ... nope. I don't know what I loved about them as a kid, but it did not carry on into adulthood. I ended up throwing them out. 🤣

That's a pretty looking technique, I hope you have good luck relearning it.
