New Socks for Me

February 24, 2011 By Carole

Last year at SPA I was sporting a new sweater. This year, alas, there is nothing quite so grand. I do, however, have a new pair of socks to wear.

I call them my PB&J socks because the yarn color is called Fluffer Nutter and Jam. It’s Numma Numma Toasty that I bought ages ago from the Loopy Ewe.

They are my second pair of finished socks for 2011 and that puts me right on track for one pair per month. Meeting goals makes me happy.

New socks make me happy, too.

I will say that they are very very soft. This  makes me a bit nervous about how well they will hold up.

That’s actually okay, though.  I know how to make more.

    PBJ&F socks! I used to like those sandwiches, light on the P, heavy on the F.

    Great socks! Of course we can always make more, but I still hate it when a favorite pair bites the dust!

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
