(un) Unraveled Wednesday.
Whew! The third time was a charm for Soyokaze … and I am now well into the second half of the collar.
I had hoped to show you a little more progress (the next step is really cool – you pickup stitches along one of the long edges and re-join the first half of the collar to start the yoke #knittinggeek), but I’ve spent most of the morning in the kitchen. Holly and I are joining up with our annual family reunion at the lake later today and my biggest assignment is to bake a cake. The recipe is Aunt Betty’s Cream Cheese Pound Cake (fondly known as CCPC).
It’s an easy cake (*knocks on wood* – it’s still in the oven) and serves a crowd for days. I think even Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood would approve! Yes, Marc and I finally started watching The Great British Baking Show and I’m hooked – are you a fan, too?
Joining in with Kat and friends and hoping there are more (un) Unraveled stories shared today.

I love how your yarn combination looks together in Soyokaze! And that cake! Six eggs and cream cheese definitely sounds like a delicious cake I would love (and I love your mise en place). I’m a big fan of GBBS, sometimes getting slightly irritated at Mary Berry’s insistence on uniformity, but I’ve watched and rewatched many episodes.

I love that you’re making a pound cake. My family has a sour cream pound cake at every gathering. (I wonder if this is just southern thing?) Even though I don’t typically eat cake – especially one with eggs and dairy – I do eat a small sliver because it’s a family tradition.
Y’all have fun!

Ooooooo! I love how that collar is looking! And, yay for #knittinggeeks!!
I am not sure who we love more… Mary and Paul or those crazy girls! But, yes… we are HUGE fans of The GBBS

Oooh, a family reunion at the lake sounds wonderful and I’m sure your cake will be delicious. I watched a couple of episodes of The British Baking Show but didn’t really get into it.

Knitting geeks rock! One of my most favorite projects was Miss BB by Bonne Marie Burns and she turned a shall collar like nobody’s business! It was so much fun! I’ll bet that cake is delicious…have a wonderful time with the family!

Save me a piece of cake! Glad you got past the problem with the knitting…the rest will be a breeze. Enjoy the reunion at the lake.
Cheers~

That looks a lot like the pound cake I made this past weekend-LOVE LOVE homemade pound cake.

I’ve heard of pound cake but never made one – the ingredients certainly sound delicious. The Great British Bake-Off has just started its ninth series here last night, albeit with Prue Leith instead of Mary Berry; it’s still a great show! So warm and comforting – just like a nice piece of cake and a cup of tea!

Glad the knitting is back on track! And that cake – I’ve never watched the Great British Baking Show, but I can’t imagine anyone not judging it delicious. Where there any leftovers?
Penny
Headache at work – *were there any leftovers? : )

I love The Great British Baking Show!! I’ve learned a few things, and would like to try a few things (someday).

I have not watched that show yet, I’m afraid it would give me too many sugary ideas 🙂 Love the tweedy knitting project!
Margene
Despite being able to eat a single thing the GBBS makes I love the show. I have yet to make it though all the seasons and episodes, but I know it’s there when I have time to watch. I have a feeling your cake will be delicious!!

I love the look of that collar. Sometimes it just takes more than one try. The cake sounds delish. Sometimes I make a pound cake for either my book or crafting group – once a year – one or two pieces. Yum!
