I'm sworn to keep my latest project a secret, especially from the world of the knit-blog. So I'm photographing yesterday's baking instead (a cherry and Hoegaarden clafoutis). I found the recipe while surfing for variations on cherry pie the other day. It was pretty good, but I'd use less sugar next time. And maybe add a squeeze of lemon to sweeter cherries. But I tend to use less sugar, I like my sweets tart.
But I can still blog about other people's knitting. How cute is this felted kids pirate hat? This is quite an old pattern, but the wonderful blogger who designed it has just put up a pirate argyle chart.
I know many adults who'd love one of these. Including my little brother. He is so straight-laced the guy dropped out of a Music degree, cut his hair and got a job where he has to wear a suit. Very much the wrong way round. But behind the shirt and tie lies a sometimes surreal of humor and rather childish love of toys. Plus he was one of those kids who spent most of his early childhood in fancy dress. Lots of Pirates, Robin Hood, Peter Pan, Teenage Nutant Ninja Turtles, Knights of the Round Table, Spies... but mainly Superman. The child was convinced he could fly.
It's his 21st birthday in October. Maybe I could knit him a cape.

I love knitted dress-up (that wig on knitty is great)
mmmmmmm, that looks YUMMY!
Thanks for those pirate links!
If you do knit a cape, please let us (ok, me) know what kind of yarn you use. I have at least two family members who would get a kick out of receiving one, but I've never made one for fear that it would look and act like a horse blanket.
it would be hard to get a yarn which would knit up to the right drape for a cape - better sewing woven fabric I say.
those pirate links are great
Thanks the tip off about cherry clafotis - I made one for some friend so monday and it was delicious and I was surprised how easy it was to make (although I didn't stone the cherries so that makes me less of a domestic goddess probably!) I have also order 2 balls of matchmaker to start my own rosalind!
Gina and I have been discussing trying to make capes cool this fall. It's a challenge, but I'm up for it. Screw the capelet - go all the way, right?
Your cherries look delicious.
I read really much useful data here!
