Free Pattern Keeping with a colonial theme, this is a rustic but tasty salad that compliments the flavors of the Fall harvest. It's a great dish to take along when meeting knitting friends for lunch or a large gathering of family.

I'm sure if you look at the picture below, and then compare it to the photo above of my brooch, you will see with what talent I captured these weeds, ahem, flowers. You don't have to say it. I know you can. Because this was my first brooch, I went with a simple design (as recommended by Tiny Happy) and used a combination of running stitch and french knot. I've enjoyed wearing it several times and have since then made several more brooches of different designs and colors that I like equally well!

Available in One Size: Finished Chest 43 in. (109 cm), Finished Length 22 in. (56 cm). Free Pattern Even so, I didn't embark upon this venture lightly, or without advance preparation. I've had the book The Art of Fair Isle Knitting, History, Technique, Color & Patterns by Ann Feitelson for years, which I pulled out and reread in earnest. The best piece of advice I gleaned from this book was that if I did nothing else I needed to master carrying two colors of yarn simultaneously if I was ever going to enjoy knitting fair isle. While it's possible to knit with just one color yarn at a time and then drop and switch colors as needed, this will never allow you to develop a rhythm or uniform tension. It can be hard to differentiate between all the different garments you can crochet like hoods, shawl, cardigans, ponchos and the like, capes and capelets are very versatile items and are typically a short sleeveless cloak. Free Crochet Cape Patterns for Adults I remember we spent Christmas Eve in Puerto Montt, Chile and it was cold and drizzling out. Despite the weather the streets were filled with families all dressed up milling about and the air was filled with excitement and happiness. I asked our hotel if there was an event taking place. But no. Apparently it simply is the tradition in that town to dress up and walk as a family downtown Christmas Eve. I loved being there and feeling a part of their celebration and enjoying the quiet beauty of the nativity scene, the focus of the town's decorations. It felt very special.

Another little side story- my daughter is 21 years old and for the most part, thinks my crochet designs are “for middle aged women”. (I think she’s trying to hurt my feelings, but I am a middle aged woman and people like me are my audience, so….) Anyway, Itexted her a picture of this capelet while I was still working up the design and she LOVED it! Even came over and modeled it for me since Patty my mannequin has no head. I might have to make another one in a less pastel color scheme for her for Christmas. (She has informed me that she also does not read my blog, so she’ll never know about this potential surprise) Kids will love dressing up as the characters in the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood and the big bad Wolf for Halloween or for creative play throughout the year. Crochet them in easy care yarn and you’ll have them to pass down to many playful children. Free Pattern Crochet Cape with Hood Patterns In today's busy world I think we have had to sacrificed tradition in favor of ready made convenience. It's so simple when the grocery store has everything you need for a holiday on a ready made platter. But that feels so empty to me and many others. Instead many of us at this time of year will pull out favorite family recipes that we make each year that are special to our family and connect us to generations past. I was quite surprised when I realized that not only was it the perfect length, but I also had enough yarn left to make a hood! The pattern is written with the hood optional, so if you prefer an-unhooded Hillside Capelet, you can make that too!Mix together maple syrup, canola oil and vanilla extract. Pour wet mix over oats and stir until oats are well covered. Remove mixture from mixer. Add all purpose flour and ground almonds (alternately) and stir by hand with a wooden spoon. When mixture is well combined stir in dried fruit (drained). To finish off the Christmas crochet capelet, rather than weaving in all of those ends, the tails will be knotted together for a few rounds like macrame, and then trimmed. Little Mrs Christmas Capelet is a lovely textured hooded cape. Perfect for Christmas, use a different trim for red riding hood or change up the colors completely for a fun accessory. This is designed as a photography prop as the stitch is very open.

I'm primarily a Knitter, but I also enjoying mixing things up and, lately, I have been experimenting with embroidery and wool felt.

Last week Mr Puffy and I had a nice restorative visit with my parents in Santa Barbara. We took long walks, relaxed in front of the fire, and drank endless cups of tea! Mr Puffy loves it when we visit because he is spoiled and he gets to wander freely in my mother's garden which is enclosed and safe to do so, unlike at home where he is always supervised and on a leash when outside. At times I don't think he wants to leave! I can't blame him, I'm never ready to leave either. Prepare cake pan. Trace a liner in wax paper by using your cake pan as a template. Cut out forms to fit bottom of pan and strips to line sides. Use butter to moisten pan which will hold the wax paper in place. Set baking pan aside while you prepare your cake mix.Using A, attach with long tail to last row, Ch 1, working BLO, sc through both rows in each dc and 5 sc, FO. This creates an open collar. Place greens in large bowl. Toss with 2/3 of dressing. Add the orange and pecans. Serve remaining dressing on the side. Feeding your cake. You will need to "feed" your cake brandy periodically during the maturing phase. It should be clear by now that I like a strong brandy flavor to my cake. Remove the cheesecloth and drizzle with approx. 1 tablespoon brandy and reapply the cheesecloth. Feed your cake brandy once a week by adding approx. 1 tablespoon brandy until ready to ice and decorate. If, however, you don't like a strong brandy flavor (and bear in mind the cake already has lots of brandy in the fruit) you can periodically add a couple of apple slices to the cake tin to keep the cake fresh, but remove them after a day so that they don't go moldy. I actually have begun doing this the past few years instead of adding so much brandy and actually like it better. Two garments in one!
