This has been a busy week for my family. Nothing exceptional, just a busy time of year. I was not able to get as much done on my baby blanket that I shared last week. I finished attaching the border strip from last week. I knitted one more and added it to the left side. Slowly but surely I will complete this blanket.
I usually do not post my projects until they are complete, but I thought I would change things up for this project.
Back in early 2013, I completed a letter B dishcloth. The pattern came from a dishcloth set of the entire alphabet. At that time, I thought that they could make a delightful baby blanket. However, no one in my family is expecting to have any more children.
Recently, a friend announced that she was expecting. In addition to being delighted for her, I wanted to start on a baby blanket for her.
I began by designing my project in Excel.
Now for my favorite part of any good cake – FROSTING! I do admit to being a cake snob. I detest most grocery store cakes. The cake is mediocre at best, and the frosting is extra sweet and greasy. Together it is disgusting. I only eat them out of politeness. I have NEVER bought one myself – I always make mine. While in the beginning they may not have looked as pretty, but they always tasted better (well, except for one but I really don’t want to talk about that).
In order to have a great cake, you must have a frosting that crusts. If it does not crust, it will not be extra smooth.
