Hot cup of tea
Sorry for being away for so long, folks, but I’ve been eating. And tearing from city to city. And having endless cups of ginger and cardamom tea in what has been a smoggy and biting, yet glorious Delhi winter, to say nothing of gazing at crisp, sunny views of the great Himalayan ranges from Shimla and Kufri. Many of the items on the agenda posted last time have been successfully achieved and some pictures will follow, but here are some snapshots to start with. NSG, if you’re reading this, this photo of the gajar halwa my sister made on Christmas from these really blood-red fresh carrots is for you:
I also ate something I have never eaten before: Sattu ka Paratha, which is like a fried, Bihari cousin of the Marathi thalipeeth. Absolutely delicious.
Not much knitting has been happening, (so no red pullover progress) but the spouse has been enjoying the cups of tea at Ganga Dhaba and elsewhere in these:
Specs: Knitpicks Merino in Asparagus, just over skein was used, on size 3 needles. Basic glove pattern from Katharina Buss. As you can see from the other photo, I started off making the fingers really long, into tipless gloves, but abandoned that idea because he didn’t find them that comfortable. They’re very soft and comfy!
Regular blogging will resume soon, but in the meantime, I hope everyone is having a good holiday season, and my best wishes for the new year!
