DineHear by knauf – 40 seconds at SanChurro

(Please note a little chocolate was wasted in the making of the artistic napkin art above).

When someone asks you to review a restaurant you don’t pick somewhere you have been before because well that’s just boring isn’t it.

SanChurro had been calling out to my chocolate desires for sometime now and the fact that the queue was considerably less then another (over the road – across the corner – down the stress a little) chocolate shop really had me convinced that this was the night to try it out.

YUM! That’s all I have to say.

But I will say more cause well it’s a blog and that’s what bloggers do 🙂

Dipping Fried Churros tossed with cinnamon into hot melted spiced chocolate is probably as close to heaven as your going to get.

With the exception of hearing a coffee machine grinding someones coffee beans whilst you try to enjoy the quietness of no children sharing your chocolate.

Here is my 40 seconds of kitchen sounds.

Am I crazy? Isn’t it wrong to be sitting in a chocolate cafe/shop/restaurant/haven and hearing coffee machines?

Why go to a Chocolate shop and order coffee? Isn’t that what Starbucks and Gloria jeans are for?

These “coffee lovers” are clogging up doorways when serious “chocolate lovers” are waiting in line for a fix. Oh did I mention I LOVE chocolate?

If you’ve been around here long, you know that I’m in a perpetual battle with my stash. I feel like I haven’t bought yarn in years unless I needed it for a specific project. I knit fairly a lot, and crochet some, too, but it feels like my stash never gets any smaller.

It’s not just the unused balls of yarn that are a problem. In fact, maybe a bigger issue is all the odd balls and leftover bits that seem to pile up without any effort. Even though I love scrappy projects (and knit a whole sweater dress with scraps earlier this year) it still feels like a never-ending quest to use up all the little bits.

So I’m always on the lookout for good patterns that are made to use of the extra bits of yarn. If they are super easy, too, that’s so much the better.

So it is with the Lalu Scarf by Sheena Stone. This any yarn, any gauge pattern is designed to use up whatever scraps you have on hand (assuming they’re mostly the same weight or can be held double to make the same weight).

It’s a tube scarf worked in the round, and she specifically notes that she works it outside in, so the back of the scarf is on the outside as you knit. The needle tips are on the part of the circle farthest away from you as you knit.

It also has an attached I-cord edging, which sounds really time consuming but does give the edges a nice, finished look.

The way the colors are changed as you knit you don’t really need a lot of each color. It would probably be good if you had at least enough of a color to complete one round, but you can change colors more often than every round if you need to because you’re using all your tiny bits.

Grab the free pattern on Ravelry.
