Hungry Caterpillar Set

October 4, 2017 By Carole

Last Thursday I finished the Hungry Caterpillar Baby Cocoon and Hat. Ready?

Squeeeee! Is that not the cutest hand knit ever? I mean, it slays me every time I look at it.

 

It was really simple and fast to knit, too. I used Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky in two shades of blue and two shades of green. The hat is made from some leftover Lamb’s Pride Bulky. In a total cheater move, I didn’t even weave in the ends. I mean, that’s a LOT of ends. And it’s only for a wee babe – it’s not like the ends are going to impact him at all. It was a teensy bit fiddly to make the antennae and eyes but not really and totally worth the pay off.

And speaking of the pay off – there should be a baby to put in that little cocoon very very soon. I can’t even imagine the cuteness we’ll have to endure then!

(Stay tuned for updates.)

    So cute, and it will be even better cocooning your new grandson. The waiting is the hardest part … 🙂

    This is undeniably the cutest knit ever, I can’t wait to see the new grandbaby in it! Handknit cocoons are the best invention–my mom made one for Zoe, she loved to snuggle down and fall asleep in it as an infant…..killing me just thinking about it!

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
