It's bread day!

Usually once (sometimes twice) a week I like to spend a day baking bread. Not trying to knock store bought, I just enjoy the process of bread making. It's somehow soothing. Plus the added bonus of trying a new recipe and having the house smell of fresh bread :)

Baby Teething Ring and other goodies

So a great friend of mine recently became a grandma for the first time to an adorable little boy.

So I decided to make some fun little things for him.

Finishing up your work

There are quite literally countless ways to finish your crochet piece. I've recently become very fond of finishing with no knots. No it is quite possible. Need a good long tail and you just weave it in back and forth for a few rows and soon you can't see where you ended. I'll add that one in for some visuals. I'm a very visual person so I love photos :) Here's a few ways you can finish off a variety of pieces and have it look like it was done by a pro! Which you soon will be!

Here's what I mean by weaving in the ends. Moogly does a great job of showing how to do this. You'd be amazed how much nicer your pieces will look once you get in the habit of weaving in the ends.
