I had been a good girl last weekend. Hubby had to work so I had stayed home the whole day. I had the long weekend all to myself. So what did I do, well definately I knit and knit and beside that I prepare this.
This is "Gingko Nuts and Barley Soup". It is one of the Chinese traditional dessert. It consist of gingko nuts, beancurd strips and barley. The chinese believe that this soup will help to purify the kidneys and bladder. Not my favourite dessert anyway but hubby loves it.
Besides that, the last week I started another new knitting project. Its a shawl again. It's the Hanging Garden Stole by Sivia Harding. I think I'm addicted to it. I can't seem stop knitting it. 48 rows for each repeat and after each repeat the shawl grows tremendously. I still have a long way to go but with the long weekend ahead I hope I will have more time knitting it.

Your new shawl pattern is so pretty. It's nice to see growing design . I have yet to knit a shawl or stole, just don't know when I'll start to knit one.
I want some doreen! I'm not a big fan of barley but I love gingko nuts. They suppose to be very good for health. Anyways, your shawl is very pretty. I'm sure you'll be able to finish with no time.
Very nice color. What yarn you are using? And the dessert looks yummy.

The dessert is so right for now, my throat is so parched everyday from the haze. The hanging garden design is so pretty.
