My husband brought home a new set of frying pans that were on sale at Canadian Tire the other day so I decided to make little quilts to keep them from getting scratched when stacked. I used leftover pieces from the Christmas quilt that I made for my dad. I quite like them. The execution isn't perfect but I think they turned out well enough.
I also got my favourite bread made and the best bran muffins from the Flavours of Canada cookbook. These are the only bran muffins I will ever bother making. They don't dry out if you stir a little too much or bake a little too long like others I've made. I can mix it up with different ingredients. I like using bananas, walnuts and a few chocolate chips but pieces of apple and dried cranberries taste great too.
And on the knitting front, I switched my purple project, partially begun in the last post's photos back to the Norah Gaughan pattern, kaide. I bought the yarn to make this in the first place, then waffled and started a different sweater. Today when I was making the pot quilts, I looked at the swatch I made for kaide and decided that the pattern really looks nice. So, I ripped out and started again.
