OK, I've been touting the Hearthkit, so here's a loaf baked on it (displayed, of course, on a handwoven towel in natural colored cottons :) It's a whole wheat buttermilk bread weighing in at 21 oz / 600 g, and it doubled in size while baking. Yum, nice sammich bread!

I am sooo hungry. I love home baked bread - I need to make some. I don't have a fancy hearth thingy, but it's still better than anything in a bag. Hey, I'll trade you one of those hand woven towels for some of my homemade, hadpicked Mustant Grape Jam to go on that fine bread.
It's never too late to wish someone a merry Christmas, so there.
You make me want to return to my own bread baking. Do you have a secret whole wheat flour that you use? I can sometimes find a generic one at my local supermarket but I think something a little less refined would make for a more interesting bread. I suppose I could try Whole Foods but I have issues with them.
A collection of knitted lace shawls, stoles and wimples. Many were done in handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.
These are all handknitted socks and other small items. Most of these were knitted from my own handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.
(Most of the Celtic designs came from Celtic Charted Designs by Co Spinhoven, an excellent and inexpensive resource.)
Back in the dark ages (as in pre-1987), I used to knit sweaters. Nowadays, I rarely do, so I'll use this album to record some of what I have done and may yet to be.
Beautiful! I can feel my defenses breaking down.
