I still haven't gotten around to unpicking my scarf, and honestly have not had the desire to deal with it this week. So, I decided to continue my education and learn some knitting techniques I have not yet mastered. Things like increasing, decreasing, slipping one stitch, and yarn overs. This will allow me to move beyond the ubiquitous hat and scarf! I cast on a few stitches, and now will dig out my Vogue Guide to Knitting and practice! The book is an awesome baking book I found at the library and want to buy as soon as I can . It is full of delicious baked goods (I made the chocolate hazelnut buns for breakfast, they are excellent!), and the pictures are beautiful. The book is Warm Bread and Honey Cake, and the author os Gaitri Pagrach-Chandra. I have a whole sheet of paper listing all of the recipes I want to try from this book. Thanks to Ginny at small things for hosting the yarn along! Hopefully, in the near future, I will have some completed projects to share!
I wish you all the best with your knitting & Warm Bread & Honey Cake looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYummy book! I would love to dig into that one.
ReplyDeleteI, too, am a learner when it comes to knitting. It's so easy to pick up new things on the internet. There are tons of videos that really help. Keep at it!
I am sure you will be an advanced proficient knitter in no time!
ReplyDeleteThank you all! I will definitely look up some knitting videos! I am having fun learning.
ReplyDeleteThe book title alone is delicious--can't imagine what wonderful recipes are waiting inside!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading a cookbook this week too - Feast! It's all making me very hungry though... lol!
ReplyDeleteFeast? What an awesome name for a cook book! I am going to see if my library has a copy!
