Men's scarves

My last three knitting projects have been garter rib scarves using Caron free Mens interchangeable scarves pattern. I used Patons Colour works Aran for these two. A quick and easy pattern to knit.

Malaysian vegetable pickle and Kitty love

 I made Malaysian style Acar Vegetable pickle adapted from my Malaysian cookbook .Its great to eat with barbecued meat or as part of a chinese meal .I used rice vinegar to blanch the vegetables as the first time I made it with ordinary white vinegar, the taste was too strong. I also substitute peanut butter, natural and crunchy for the ground peanuts.

My finished Kitty love washcloth,from a free Ravelry pattern ,designed by Cheryl Lacey .Its for my daughter Kat and I'm very pleased with the results. I used size 5mm needles instead of 4.5mm as recommended, and Rowan all seasons cotton 10 ply .It knitted up really quickly and used just one 50g ball.
