Fridays are for baking cookies.
I decided to use a German recipe, found here, so that I could find everything called for. Because brown sugar doesn’t exist here, and is in every English recipe. As well as other things, like vanilla extract, although there is “vanilla sugar” as substitute.
It didn’t work too well; I probably put in too much oatmeal. I don’t really have a scale and decided it weighed about as much as flour. Probably not.
I even got some daylight seaming done on the vest yesterday:
Now I know that if it grows when I wash it it will definitely be too big for me (all right Becky, you can have it), and I need to make the straps way shorter. 9″ is too big for the size small shoulder straps from the armhole. I mean, I know I’m going to add about 2″ with the ribbing, but that would still be too short, I think.
I wish I had someone to help me figure it out how it will work.

SCORE!
Those cookies look awesome. There’s no such thing as too much oatmeal in oatmeal cookies. Are those chocolate chips? I like them better with raisins. D:
The cookies look good – yum!
The vest looks good – hope it fits you!
As Cookie A.’s sock book says, you need your “BKFF”, Best Knitting Friend Forever. As do I.
I wish I could help. Kinda hard over the intranetz, though.
Those cookies look good! I looked up the recipe but uh… I don’t understand German :P
I want to reach right into my monitor and squeeze that knit!
