This is another project that has been in my queue for a while. I might wear it like this.
Or like this.
I wish I made the smallest size, because it came out a little baggier in the shoulders and arms than I'd have liked.
I really like the texture of the moss stitch. I'm also really happy with the yarn. I love the color and the squishiness.
It's pumpkin season, so I made this pumpkin bread recipe that I found on
Tasty Kitchen. It makes 2 loaves, I have only been making a half recipe at a time. Partly because J and I won't be able to eat two loaves before they go bad. But mainly because I only have one loaf pan :)
The recipe calls for shortening. Instead I
substituted coconut oil and butter.
Coconut oil is supposedly very good for you.
