As is the Wednesday ritual: linking up with Ginny’s Yarn Along and the KCCO.
The past few days, I’ve been re-reading The Ultimate Guide to Homesteading, and pouring over the plans in Build Your Own Barrel Oven.
A barrel oven seems like a very, very cool project for an outdoor oven, but after reading the construction details and seeing how one operates, I think we will stick with our original plan to build a simple cob wood-fired bread oven next summer.
I finished a little wool soaker for a friend having a baby. Â It made for a nice break from the Christmas knitting projects, and baby garments are my favorite thing to knit.
The winter-white wool yarn is from the thrift store, so I don’t know the brand. Â I suspect it has a little mohair in it, and it is quite soft and warm.
More soon: Â this afternoon the kids and I are making pfeffernusse cookies and I hope to share our recipe later in the week.
lovely wool soaker!
