I can’t think of a better way to spend a cold windy Sunday afternoon than baking and knitting.
I made apple crisp last weekend and it was very very good. The granny smiths made it just a little tart, so I’m making another batch this weekend using gala apples.
For a full hour while it bakes, the air is warm and scented with a delicious cinnamon smell. Its a perfect time to sit and knit.
And after that, you get to enjoy a wonderful warm treat.
When Brooklyn Tweed released the pattern for Guernsey Wrap, I knew I had to make one. I love textured knits and the tweedy gray color just made it even harder to resist.
I am completely enjoying both the pattern and the yarn. Shelter is rustic and wooly, and has an amazing lightness to it. I can’t wait to wear the finished wrap.
A few weeks ago when it was a blustery 20-something degrees out, Joey started layering up to take Henry out for a walk and he happened to borrow my Infinity Cowl. I asked him if he would wear one if I knit him his own, and he said he would. When someone practically begs you to knit them something, how can you resist?
I made this one slightly wider than the original by provisionally casting on 44 stitches. I knit in the round until the entire thing measured 56 inches in length and then grafted the ends together. I used KnitPicks Wool of the Andes bulky on size US 15 DPNs.
The result is warm and cozy. Just what he asked for.
