I'd love to get that coffee cake recipe, though! Sounds fantastic! :-) Polly B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17069704034705818438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649086572540227656.post-18438730917482534372013-05-09T11:50:37.986-07:002013-05-09T11:50:37.986-07:00Sounds like your almond "bread" recipe i...Sounds like your almond "bread" recipe is more of a pound cake, which is often baked in a loaf pan :-) <br />Give me a little bit of time to find it, but I'll send you Mrs. Thrasher's almond coffee cake recipe...YUM!<br />{{{HUGS}}},<br />Mrs. HavensIllinois Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823043316393624821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649086572540227656.post-43658042205357859712013-05-04T13:10:58.617-07:002013-05-04T13:10:58.617-07:00Thanks for your comment!

Oddly enough, my aunts (who are the same nationality as my grandmother, but not as me) call my knitting the French style. And to top it all off - I'm English !<br />I've always preferred it because it seems 'fairer' to have one hand doing the knitting and the other hand holding the yarn, it seems to balance out the effort. And when I started crochet, it was much easier to get started as I already had the yarn in the correct hand.<br />Have just discovered your site, please keep up the good work !Annnoreply@blogger.com
