Convert -A- Gauge

Pattern Gauge Conversion Method by Patty Kubitzki

 

Convert ANY knit or crochet pattern gauge

to your swatch gauge using simple math calculations.

Will work for crochet or hand or machine knitting patterns.

How often have you tried to make a garment but

ended with frustration because you couldn't match the gauge

given in the instructions or have seen a garment you wanted

to make but desired it in a different yarn?

Making tension swatches over and over trying to match a certain

gauge sometimes seems so futile that often the

garment doesn't get made.

End that frustration forever!

BE CREATIVE . . . Try using a different stitch pattern than

what the pattern calls for. Make your garments come out

just the way you imagine them!

Instructions include:

How to make your swatch

Directions and samples for pattern conversions

Directions and samples for calculating special cases such as

Increasing and Decreasing

Short-Rowing

Shaping

___________________________________________

This is simple math, doing calculations such as

16/8 = 2 or 24/10 = 2 with a remainder of 4

No calculator is needed.

___________________________________________

CONVERT-A-GAUGE is a unique method of changing the

numbers of stitches and rows in any knitting or crochet pattern

to the correct numbers you should knit or crochet

according to your swatch.

Enjoy the freedom and flexibility of choosing the pattern design

you like then selecting the yarn stitch pattern and needle size

Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe

This is my spin-off recipe from the Homemade Peppermint Ice Cream Recipe.

I basically had all these ingredients on hand and wanted to see if the 

chocolate pudding could be substituted for the Peppermint Stick.

I was amazed how good this came out!

The instant pudding made the mixture thicker than the peppermint version.

But I knew it would be frozen anyway, so it didn't matter.

Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream

14 Marshmallows, the regular size

2 c. Whole Milk

Small 3.9 oz. pkg. of Chocolate Instant Pudding

4 oz. (1/2 container) Whipped Topping, like Cool Whip

 

In a saucepan over low/medium heat mix the marshmallows with the milk. 
When the marshmallows are mostly melted, add the pudding mix and stir well. 
Continue to heat and stir until the marshmallows are fully melted. 

Cool and allow to freeze  (in regular freezer) to mushy state. 
Then fold in the whipped topping. 
Return to freezer until firm. 

This chocolate version is great as it is or it could be jazzed up

with bits of chocolate or chocolate cookie chunks 

or swirls of chocolate syrup. 

 

I hope you'll try one of these versions of homemade ice cream. 

No hand or electric cranking required!

Just stick in your freezer and you will be amazed!

Enjoy!

Homemade Peppermint Ice Cream Recipe

 This recipe has been in my family for well over 50 years. 

I remember as a young girl having the ice cream and how delicious it was.

Amazingly enough, I am not sure I ever made it until recently.

The recipe calls for 1/2 of a stick peppermint (5 cent) crushed. 

When I saw this peppermint stick at Dollar Store this past Christmas (for 50 cents)

I decided to grab one and make the ice cream. 

This stick is 9" long and 3/4" in diameter.

I believe the peppermint stick back in the 50's was even fatter,

because I started off using just half of it and decided 

I needed to use the entire stick to really taste the peppermint. 

OK, so here it is early March and I just made it. 

Time can get away from us, you know?

So here is the original recipe and the changes I made:

Peppermint Ice Cream

14 Marshmallows, the regular size

1 1/2 c. Whole Milk

1/2 pint Whipping Cream (I used 4 oz. of whipped topping instead, like Cool Whip)

1/2 Stick Peppermint (5 cent) crushed (I used all of the (9" x 3/4" stick, 3.5 oz.)

Melt over low/medium heat all except the whipping cream. Cool and allow to freeze to mushy state. Whip the cream or use the whipped topping and fold into the rest. Return to freezer until firm. 

This recipe is soooo easy and incredibly creamy smooth and delicious!

Maybe you still have some candy canes left over from Christmas

(they keep for a long time!) and you can try this.

Bye for now.
