Monday’s Blog

June 30, 2008 By Carole

As I mentioned on Friday, I’m on vacation this week. It’s a mostly stay-at-home vacation and that’s just fine with me. My plan for the week is to post a picture a day of something I’ve been doing on vacation. This way you don’t have to miss me too much and I don’t have to work too hard updating the blog. Sound good? So here’s today’s photo:

sock_knitting_canal.jpg

Sock knitting at Cape Cod Canal. It was beautiful and breezy and much cooler than at home. I could have sat there all afternoon except that the rock I was sitting on was so damn hard.

See you tomorrow!

    Yay, inspiration! I’ll be doing the same thing, hopefully from the same location next month on my vacation/family visit but my yarn isn’t as cheerful as yours. Yours is lovely!

    Enjoy your week, Carole. You’ve more than earned it.

    Is that Trekking XXL, btw? I saw some that orange at my LYS a couple of weeks ago. I may need to go back and get it so I can be cool like you.

This loaf took about 24 hours from start to finish, it was sluggish at first so I waited patiently and adjusted my timeline. It rested in the banneton on the kitchen windowsill overnight and I baked it when I got up this morning. Oven spring was impressive, it’s got a good ear and a nice open crumb. It tastes good, too! #sourdoughbread #sourdoughbaking #lookatthatear #nicecrumb #ovenspring #homemadeisbest #breadforbreakfast #morningbaking #the100dayproject #100daysofiphonephotos
