A Gift

December 11, 2008 By Carole

Brace yourselves for I am about to show you some finished knitting for the second day in a row. Don’t worry, though, I’m sure it won’t become a habit. Nevertheless, here we have a finished Lace Ribbon Scarf.

Apparently every picture I take these days is modeled on the sled by my back door. Claudia says it’s festive and that works for me.

Want to see a little bit closer? Please note the lovely stripes and crispness of the lace pattern. What yarn is it, you ask? Well, the fiber is Gale’s Art BFL that I bought at Maryland Sheep & Wool this past May. Which would mean that this yarn is my handspun. Let me clarify – it’s my handspun singles.

I bet that makes you want to see even closer. Right?

I have given the scarf to my dear friend Blogless Sharon for her birthday. I figure that only another spinner can really appreciate a gift knit from handspun singles and I still feel bad about going to Maryland without her. The grin on her face when I gave it to her last night makes me think that she has forgiven me.

    The scarf is wonderful. I have purchased a skein of homespun yarn once on ebay. While we may not all be able to spin, knitters have a true appreciation for the art of spinning and feel very fortunate when they are able to knit with it. This scarf was pretty enough for an Eye Candy Friday.

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
