Winter's eve






Baking bread, knitting, relaxing...a great way to spend a cold winter's evening. Last night I baked a loaf of the basic recipe bread from the book Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day. The method is great- you make up a batch of dough, keep it in your fridge, and then when you want a loaf you take some off and bake it up for 30 minutes. The resulting loaf was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Plus it was great to have fresh baked bread with dinner. I'm getting ready to seam together the Baby Aran Sweater from the book Knitting for Baby by Melanie Falick and Kristin Nicholas. I like this pattern, and have made it once before. The shoulders are fitted with buttons which is great for getting the sweater over baby's head.
