A Day Meant For Knitting



We had the dregs of Hurricane Noel blow through yesterday so what was there to do but knit? We made bread and chowder and pie and lit a fire and had a lovely, cozy day. It does not, by the way, help bread to cook for ten minutes, take a little twenty minute break while the power goes out, and then cook the rest of the way but it was still fine. I've been using the King Arthur Flour Baking Book for all my bread for the past couple of years and mostly make the Oatmeal Maple Bread (also the Monkey Bread). It's a great book both for recipes and technique. (I cannot spell the word recipes to save my life; it took four tries in that sentence back there).

Here's what I worked on:



It's Caroline in Louet Riverstone. Color: Aqua. It will be felted when it's done so now it's pretty loose. It's knits up quickly and the yarn is nice and soft. I started it Friday night and I'm about 16 rows from the armholes. I'm a little scared of the felting; I was waiting for some other guinea pig on Ravelry to begin but no one did so I jumped in. I'll let you know how it goes.
