Off the needle but not done
Lady Eleanor stole is off the needle and block last night. I was thinking not to block it a first, I kinda like the pumpy texture, but it feel really thick without blocking, guess a good bath is needed. The fringe have already been cut, however by reading through the instruction I could imagine it will require lot of patient and time to attach the fringe.
I never have a sour cherries pie since I came back from U.S. 9 years ago. Couple years back, when me and my husband start to date, he was trying to impress me by asking the hotel chef to bake me a surprise cherries pie, well is really surprise..the pie are giants..about 4kg (about 8lb)in weight..I was quite disappointed after I try, is a sweet cherries pie..and it end up in a bin after all.
Now and then, everytime when I pass through a cake/pastry shop, I always check out the cherries pie, but they only have the sweet cherries.. which I don't really fancy it. Last week to my luck, I found some frozen sour cherries in one of the store, and immediate I decided to bake my own sour cherries pie..well it turn out pretty good, only a bit sour than usual, but with a bit of ice cream topping will sweeten it little.
oh.. thank you so much to my Secret pal, she have send me a lovely copy of Rebecca knitting mag, a cute measurement tape and also some flower seed for my garden.

Your Lady Eleanor is beautiful. I made one myself and the fringe DOES take a long time. It took me about 1.5 - 2 hours to finish all the knotting at the same length, but then again I can be picky about these things sometime.
Glad you found the cherries for the pie. Sound delicious
