I made the Bainbridge Scarf while I was snowed in on Friday in Boston. I saw this cute little scarf last month and knew that I had to knit it. Pepperknit's pattern includes a tutorial on how to wear it. It looks more complicated than it really is. It's actually a knitted tube with knitted straps on each side. This one will be gifted to my sister. It's knit with Louisa Harding's Grace Silk & Wool. I bought it at Pure Knits with a 20% off coupon code. This yarn just glides along the needles. I loved using it. FYI, it's mostly a evenly gauged yarn, but sometimes it has some thick and thin areas which didn't affect the stitch pattern.

I made another batch of Focaccia Bread from No Need to Knead. This time I let it rise double the amount of time because I was using the oven for something else. Then instead of pouring the dough into a 9 inch skillet, I poured some into a small non-stick saucepan and the rest into a jumbo muffin pan to make rolls. I wanted a taller loaf than last time and the saucepan did the trick. I think that you can almost use anything as long as you grease the pan with oil before pouring the dough in. The crispy crust is so delicious!
Look! I made myself a stitchmarker. It's a ball of yarn made from copper wire.

What a cute stitchmarker, that would look really nice as a necklace.
I really want that scarf, shame I can't knit.
The bread looks amazing and I love the little stitch marker!
I am so sorry to hear about the crazy family stuff...but it's *such* a good thing that you have the physical distance to separate you from it!
The scarf looks wonderful! Your sister is lucky!
The foccacia bread looks delish yet again. I wanted to ask you -- I don't have skillets that can go in the oven. Do you think 9" cake pans would work?
I hope you get some good rest and continue to recover.
-Caitlyn, Yes, a cake pan would work. Anything that can go into the oven will work. The dough will take the shape of the pan you put it into. Just remember to oil it first.
Pretty scarf.. yummy looking bread and a super little stitchmarker! I want one! LOL!
I noticed you have the cookbook Barefoot Contessa at Home (from one of your previous posts) -- I love the book, it's great to see another enjoy it too!
Stitch marker is ADORABLE! Distance makes a great buffer zone for family... It allows you to remember that you love them, even if you don't like them all the time.
You have a cold, a crazy family, you knit, you sew, you cook.... How did we never cross paths before in life? Our lives seem similar on a few levels.
:o)
I love the scarves you are knitting, and that little stitchmarker is great! Good luck on the family things, we always considered it a blessing that the in-laws live in AZ....
Argh, families! I think it's always best to live quite a distance away - like the "buffer zone" as you called it so perfectly - it's just easier to cope with them from a distance!
I really love the scarf that you did, it looks so beautifully unique and elegant! And your stitch marker rocks big time - this must be the cutest ball of yarn that I've seen for long!
Beautiful Bainbridge! Minty will be so pleased.
I am! Beautiful job. Yours looks warmer and softer than the one I made :)
thanks for your sweet comment about Marley. I'm missing him terribly, but i guess that's all part of hte deal if you share a dog, both parties have to feel ok about it, and if one doesn't... sigh. I just hope hope hope that she is better about the next attempt.
PS your red neckscarf with your green jacket - love it!
oi vey! pretty yarn stitch marker!
i think you should make an apron from your fabric stash!
Cute stitchmarker!!
Love the fabric you got too.
The scarf is so cute and you knit it so quickly! That focaccia looks so yummy I can't take my eyes off it! That liitle copper wool ball is so cute too. Hope you're feeling better already, families do bring out all the emotions in us.
