Hood for My Buds

After using the Weasley Cell Cozy Pattern I noticed my sweater would be too large for my cell phone so I decided to use it for my MP3 player (creative brand) instead. Then I got to thinking that a hood would be a great place for storing my ear buds and so a hood was born. If you’ll notice in the pictures I also made an “L” instead of a “W” too. Anyway, here’s the hood pattern so you can make one too. Enjoy!

Hood for My Buds
Created by Wendy Laswell

Items needed for this hood project are:

Size US 4 double pointed needles (Just 2 of them…rubber bands bound at one end work well if your stitches are falling off your needles)
Worsted weight yarn (Not much…great help, huh?)

Please use the Weasley Cell Cozy Pattern up until the collar instructions then you simple must use these instructions…really

Using two needles pick up 25 stitches.
Knit 3 rows in stockinette stitch.
Row 4 Bind off 5 stitches (purlwise as this should be a purl row) in the front wear the face would appear if worn
Row 5 knit into the front and back of every fifth stitch.
Row 6 Purl.
Row 7 knit into the front and back of every fifth stitch except for the last fifth stitch.
Row 8 Purl.
Repeat rows 5 and 6 once more.
Then for the next 9 rows knit in stockinette stitch ending in the middle of your last knit row
fold in half and Kitchener stitch together.
Crochet sc around the face opening to make it neat and tidy for two rounds.
Next you can make a 30 stich crochet chain then thread it through the middle of the hood area that
got bound off. Tie into a knot with equal portions of the chain on each side and there you have it, a hood with fake ties.

wendy's granola bars

I thought it was about time I put an orginal recipe up...so here it goes. I hope you enjoy it. My hubby says that it tastes like the green (you put correct name here) wrapped granola bars from the store.

Wendy’s Granola Bars

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Honey
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons Vegetable oil (I use canola)
2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cup Quick cooking oats
1 cup Small broken pieces of pecans
1/2 cup Smooth peanut butter

How to:
Preheat oven 350 degrees.
9x9 cake pan (Preferably made of silicon, if not available, then use parchment paper or other material heavily greased and hanging over the pan in such a way that it will be easy to lift the granola bars out in a solid 9x9 block.)
Mix all ingredients well and put into cake pan and pack down so there are no pockets of air and corners are filled. Smooth top flat.
Bake for 30-40 minutes. Be careful because honey likes to burn. You only want the edges to brown a light brown.
While granola is still in the pan, use a spatula to cut the granola into desired shapes. I cut one side in half and the other side every 1 1/2 inches so about a dozen rectangle bars are cut. Do not remove from the pan. Take the whole silicon pan and flip onto a sheet pan by putting sheet pan upside down on top of cake pan and flipping over. If you used another method no flipping should be needed. Separate bars carefully and let cool. If parts have broken off pushing back together should work. Wrap up and store in refrigerator. Bars should last two weeks.

Social

Today I thought I would become social.
Scary for me.
Deep breathe.
So here I am bearing parts of me to who knows who in hopes of friendships and knowledge.
