Dampfnudeln
It is a rare treat when my knitting (or sewing or cooking or life in general ... ) comes together just the way I envisioned.
Angel Pearls Beaded Scarf is that rare treat. It is almost enough to make me use a real camera. I promise, when I'm finished I will. This scarf deserves it. Meanwhile, this is what my phone sees:
Which is why I am dreaming of dampfnudeln. Dampfnudeln are tasty, steamed bun-like dumplings. In 1982, I bought one from a street vendor in Kaiserslautern, Germany. It was angel-light, barely sweet, moist, pale, yeast perfection. Like anything magical, when I went looking I could never find the kiosk again. Knitting this scarf is like that: something I expect to remember fondly 25 years later.

The scarf looks as though its going to be beautiful. I can hardly wait to see the finished project.
Pretty. I missed seeing it in person, other than flashing by. Maybe next month.
I knit a scarf once. It looked like crap.
I went on line to check out recipes for dampfnudeln and after perusing the first 10 out of 145,000 on line recipes posted I decided it was a bit too labor intensive. I'll have to look for a German bakery somewhere.
So dainty.Glad you're back as I had almost given up hope. Rondi
