This is an animation of a knot I'm interested in learning to tie proficiently. I decided to learn to tie it to try to make buttons for a sweater, but I had a difficult time using yarn. I practiced with paracord and managed to tie the knot, but I don't want to use paracord for buttons on knitted sweaters.

Coasters
I have a thing about coasters. Coasters must be used any time any one sets a drink on a table, be it glass or wood. Most coasters I've purchased are ceramic. Here's the thing: I have cats. Cats apparently have an innate drive to knock coasters off of tables. They. Simply. Must. That is why most of my coasters end up in at least two pieces. I just purchased some rubber coasters, but they're not pretty. I just came across these crocheted coasters at throughtheloops. What a great idea! I'm going to make a set (right after I finish the sweater I'm knitting - which is holding at four inches of ribbing and knitting).

Chicken Tortilla Soup
This is the Pioneer Woman's Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe. I made it last night. I considered leaving out the tomato paste, but that would have been a bad idea. It was SO good. I did leave out the black beans because I didn't have any. I don't think it hurt anything.
