These are the usual, classic Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies with double vanilla, 150% chips, no nuts, dough chilled before baking. Some things just don't change. Although some localvores may cavil – cane sugar, vanilla, and chocolate don't grow around Exit 151 and therefore perhaps the very conscientious may condemn their consumption.
C is also for cardi. I'm attempting to salvage the Bold and Bulky Mini Cardi by re-knitting it as the hobo chic Oversized Cardigan by Barry Klein (VK Fall 2006 #25). Right now there's not much to show beyond a vast expanse o' stockinette.
A couple Ravelers have commented that the pattern knits up (and the pattern schematics indicate) rather a different silhouette than the pattern's name and photo would tend to suggest. If the cardi is the same as the Yosemite Classic Cardigan (#3534), that photo seems truer to the VK schematics. It looks like there's an error in the VK directions for the bottom of the front bands, too. [Eyeroll] At least the vast expanse o' stockinette has reminded me how much I like the yarn, Malabrigo Aquarella. And if Plan B doesn't work, I've got Plans C and D ready and waiting.

were you stuck behind tick tock?? You should have called me I am like a block away... Those cookies look very very yummy
Very yummy cookies!
I was going to say--I've always wondered what that hill back there on Allwood would be like in bad weather. Chunky's school is at the Temple around the corner. I avoid that hill and go past Roche instead.
Hee hee, maybe I can somehow figure out how to grow a cocoa tree and we can solve that local chocolate problem ;-) Somehow I doubt it's not easy like potatoes.
I can't imagine anyone in their right mind condemning chocolate chips cookies. Geesh. I love to gaze at miles of lovely stockinette, especially when it's such a yummy colored Malabrigo.
