The Game Is On!
Perfect for detective work in chilly conditions, these practical fingerless mittens allow for easy handling of clues, mugs of tea, magnifiers, books, riding crops and laptops.
They go well with my ‘Knitting is boring’ infinity scarf as well.
Here is the ravelry pattern - it is free!
BBC Sherlock Cookies!
An order I had this week, for a Sherlock Holmes club. There were 2 dozen of these homies, so there are a few designs; Like John’s sweater and Sherlock’s purple shirt
of sex,British flags, their door and more.
I found the cupcake liners and the cupcake decorations. The dark chocolate cupcakes then seemed necessary.
Finished my birthday cake! My birthday is tomorrow and I wanted a Sherlock cake so I made one. I got the base as a thorntons cake because it’s delicious and I cba to make actual cake so I just decorated it. It’s not the best but as far as I go with cooking normally is a microwave so this is ok for me!
Soooooo I am the lurkiest of lurkers. I use tumblr to cultivate a batch of “likes” and that’s about it. But I am a fangirl of the highest order, and when my pastry school assigned us to make a box out of chocolate, my first thought was, how can I twist this assignment for my own ends?
Here’s how!
Lid, sides, and bottom of box are hand-tempered dark chocolate imprinted with a wood grain tool and then brushed with gold lustre dust. The numbers and door knocker are white chocolate with milk chocolate details. White chocolate was piped onto patterned acetate to form the plaques. I got the silhouettes by skewering dark chocolate onto acetate over a printout.
Box is filled with six honey ginger truffles and six salted caramels with a hazelnut centre, also made by me. : )
CHOCOLATE!
BBC Sherlock cupcakes! Because I was sitting here, Tumblin’, when I came across this amazing thing called ‘SuperWhoLock’.
And I wondered what the lock part was. AND LO AND BEHOLD I DISCOVERED THE BEAUTY OF THIS SHOW. I can’t even tell you how awesome this show is
and how adorable John and Sherlock are.If you haven’t seen it yet, I pity you and also wonder what dark shadows of Tumblr you are in. GO NOW. You still have time to redeem yourself.
Knitting is boring.
