A while ago I unexpectedly got a big basket of chanterelles from my hubby's aunt, so I thought I should make something more interesting than chanterelle sauce and fill up a jar for winter (I did those too, but the pie was a challenge to make something different than usual)...
So I made a savory pie!
Recipe is nowhere near perfect, but to remind myself what I did when I get the next big basket of chanterelles and try to make this pie even better ... :)
This pie tastes better on the second day ... I think it's because when it's right from oven the shortcrust pastry makes it kind of dry ... next time I would add some tomatoes, cauliflower or something to make it juicier right from oven ... to enjoy it while it's still hot :)

2nd edition of my flower square :)
First scheme and tips.
It works when background yarns are a bit thinner than the flower yarns.
Photo of a new and better square!
Now I have found that most of the times last two rows work better like this so I refreshed the scheme ->
As you can probably see that I have "painted over" the previous scheme .. I was too lazy to draw it from beginning just to change the last two rows so I put on a new piece of paper, cut a hole in it for the rows that won't change and then draw the last two rows...
