I’m trying to get in the habit of doing a little housekeeping post once a month. The theory is that it will give me a place to run down what’s going away, what’s coming next, and what’s in progress. Plus show off a little non-knitting something or other because we cannot live on yarn alone.

This month that’s hot chocolate paste. Aka how to do a bit of work now (when you have the brain power to stand over the stove and tend to something for a few minutes) and then have access to the good hot chocolate as needed in the future (without having to babysit a pot of milk so it doesn’t boil over when you are already having a challenging day).

I made them on stories the other day, and folks had questions. If you want to see how I do it, or to get the run down of what’s available on patreon right now, find out which of the retired patterns is coming back next, or get a sneak peek at the next brand new pattern, that’s all up over on patreon. It’s a public post, so anyone should be able to read it (you don’t have to be subscribed to see it).

Last month we did salt preserved lemons, and the month before that we did rice krispie treats with brown butter and herbs, if that’s more your jam. You can wander back through the archives and find them if you’re so inclined!
