I got the recipe for meringue from my cookbook but if you go to http://www.foodnetwork.com/, Tyler Florence shows you how to make them. Key instruction: do not underbeat. Batches 1 & 3 look like soft serve ice cream. Batch 2 looks like ... blobs.
In February, I published a mitten pattern with Windy Valley Muskox . It takes about 1 1/2 skeins of this fabulous yarn so you'll have to buy two. Of course, you could make the cuffs longer! I'm thinking I need a version with fingers (aka gloves). It's on the back burner, for the moment. In the meantime, let me tell you how lovely it is to work with qiviut! It is one of the softest fibers, definitely the lightest, and so warm for the weight; it's best as a light layer under others, and luxurious close to the skin. Sometimes, people misunderstand and think that qiviut comes from the inside coat (I'm not sure how to imagine that), or the underbelly of the muskox; that's because it is often described as the "under coat." What this actually means is that it's the down layer, and grows during the cold months, closer to the skin, all over the animal; it's like down feathers on a duck. I worked for WVM for several yea...
I will do my part and get rid of the blobs
