its cold, bread pudding needed

When its cold you feel like eating comfort food, I know I do. Something to do with fueling your body for sub zero temperatures. Snow is planned in the South for Monday, I hope they get it wrong. The last time we had lots of snow everything came to a grinding halt, shops ran out of food and driving on the motorway became an extreme sport. So a quick Friday night baking session whilst my two are at work and the cinema - an hour or so later and two bread puddings. I started making them in loaf tins a while back because you get nice deep satisfying slices of pudding. Ian said he was going on a diet until I rang him to say I was baking - ahh never mind he said the diet can start on Monday! A way to a mans heart ...

Whilst they were in the oven I carried on knitting the free pattern I posted earlier this week. I haven't used this yarn before and its lovely to knit with with clear stitch definition and so soft to touch. I've just started the back and raglan decreases, so far its looking good and I hope two balls are enough.


Enjoy your weekend and stay warm and cosy. Amanda x

Mmm bread pudding! One of my favourites! And you are right there is something about the weather than screams carbs. We ( the Princess and me) made brownies again today!

The loaf tins are a good idea, they look very tasty :)

Denim Daisy Granny Square construction

And here it is all finished last Friday, just in time for a heat wave! Seriously I do love this jumper and it fits so well with a white t shirt underneath, jeans and flip flops. Just waiting for the cold spell so that I can wear it out (rather than around the garden when its cooled down in the evenings!). I haven't written a pattern as such just some helpful notes from my pad. If people want to know how to construct one have added some notes below. As you know the Daisy Granny Square is the design of Sue Pinner from her book  Granny Squares published 2013. I do love Sue's book, its packed with so many projects and ideas and the photos are beautiful. The daisy granny square pattern is quite addictive and you soon have a small pile of them in no time! I have an idea to make another one for the autumn in the same Debbie Bliss Rialto DK yarn but all edged in shade 90 honey, I have enough in my stash. Construction  Notes:  You need to make 18 grann...

My granny tee is finished

You might remember this post from about ten days ago, well I've now finished my 4th granny tee and I'm currently finishing off my fifth one this week that I stared last year (oops). Indigo Blue came about when I took delivery of my Scheepjes Skies mini skien box (heavy/aran) and I'm in love with this yarn! I was sitting watching a film when I had the sudden urge to crochet another Granny Tee by Sarah (aka annaboos house) The mini skeins are perfect and I ended up using two boxes plus a larger 100g skein for the sleeves and joining. It has amazing drape and the colours are a subtle shift of indigo that is going to look fabulous over a white t shirt with jeans and flip flops. Perfect partnership and so bang on trend for the tie dye look that's about for festivals for this summer.  The total cost was around GBP35 not including delivery and I think for a custom made jumper that's not a bad price. I measured it as I added rows then I added side slits to my g...
