Finger Crochet Chain Scarf/Cowl

I'm hooked on Cowls this fall.  They are easy and quick to make!

Finger Crochet Chain Scarf:

I use 3 to 4 strands of different or the same yarn.

Make a slip knot and leave at least 24 inches from the end of the yarn.

Make a chain with your fingers or the largest crochet hook size Q.

Chain until it wraps around your neck at the length you want at least 8 times.  The more times you wrap it around the fuller it looks.

End the chain when the two ends meet, tie off, then wrap the 24 inches around all pieces where the beginning and end joined.  

Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce...Oh my!

I love bread pudding and I haven't made it in I don't know how long.  The day was cold and raining and I don't think there is anything better than something baking or cooking in the oven.  I got online and searched some recipes and found what I believe is a great one, Betty Crocker's Bread Pudding.  I snagged the Vanilla Sauce recipe from AllRecipes.com.  I think it turned out wonderful!

I love Fall!

 Fall is the time for the smell of fresh bread baking in the oven.

I bought a book on bread written by a Jesuit Priest

several years ago.  I have made many of his breads

and they have all been wonderful. 

Joe loves sourdough, so I thought I would give

it a try.  I have never made sour dough before, 

because when I want bread, I want it today.

I started the sour dough starter when Joe was 

in California last week, which worked out perfect.

I made it yesterday morning and Oh My! 

It is so good with butter and my home canned 

Choke Cherry Jelly.  Yum Yum!
