Here's a Skye Cap on the needles. I'm using Plymouth Suri Merino again, and the color is rich and beautiful, a bright cherry or ruby red color, with not a hint of orange to it. I'll have to get a picture of the finished hat in the daylight. There's an inset lace panel just above the ribbing. Apparently my counting skills have declined since my kindergarten days, since I had some trouble with the lace pattern. I can't bring myself to rip it back to fix a couple mistakes, but I might knit another one to master the pattern.I picked up a little early Christmas present for myself the other day. I found a great deal on this baby. My grandmother had a red set of Le Creuset cookware; my aunt still uses it.
Today's recipe is Paul's favorite. He's always in charge of dipping the truffles. They may not be the most decorative cookies, but they are absolutely delicious.Cookies & Cream Truffles
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
4 C. chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos), crushed
12 oz. almond bark/ white candy coating (* you may substitute 2 C. white chocolate chips + 1 T. shortening)

I've coveted a Le Creuset pot for ages - they're so nice.
Thanks for all the great recipes, by the way. I can't wait to make the hazelnut macaroons.
Congratulations on the Le Creuset! You are so lucky, one of these days I want one too. Sur la Table has these little mini ones right now in all the different shapes (pumpkin, tomato, garlic) for like $20. I got one as a gift for someone this year, they are absolutely adorable!
Is that a 5 qt Le Creuset? I really need one in that size and I am unsure if I want enameled or untouched CI. I have a Staub enameled 8 qt (Which I could probably cook an entire pig in it's so large) and a smaller generic brand uncoated that's about 3 qt. I'm also coveting a skillet! Cast iron is really fantastic and if this is your first piece, I do hope you love it!
Those truffles with the oreos, I think I had those before or something similar and they were really good! I have a recipe for peanut butter cup chocolate chip cookies I will have to post soon, although I admit I didn't do any baking this year.
I love Le Creuset!!! I have the grill pan in green, a 5 quart pan in blue, and a few of the baking dishes. I also have the same red container that you do. I am lucky enough to live near the outlet. I don't mind if the color isn't quite right.
I seriously want another pan like your's just a bit bigger though. I will have to let you know the next time I go to the outlet. They sometimes have items there that aren't available anywhere else.
I love my le creuset! I've only got one (5qt) but it's amazing! I long for a set!!! :)
OK, the truffles sound fantastic! YUM!
I love Le Creuset, however a little annoying to clean. I found great pieces at Homegoods.
these sounds delicious, and look at your gorgeous pot!!
