It's December. Time for a treat.

It's beginning to look a lot like a blizzard.  The kind filled with strangely dressed miniatures, evergreen shrubbery, and shiny trinkets.  It has descended upon my portion of the world, covering it's destruction with a sparkling un-meltable frosting and high pitched singing.

In the madness of the season, sometimes it's just nice to just take a moment and relax.  There are so many expectations and things to do that it's no wonder people tend to act their worst right before the season of giving.  So take a breath, and remember to keep breathing.

This month I present my family's recipe for mulled apple cider.  It must have come from somewhere originally, but I haven't figured out were.  We've made a few tweaks and changes to the recipe over the years, and now it's an annual favorite that I make during the colder months for gathering and sipping at home.  The smell of this simmering in the kitchen always calms me down and reminds me of cold nights curled up with a good book.

To have something to go along with your cider, I also have a pattern for a lightweight hot-pad done in double knit.  It features a snowflake for the season, the is a different color depending on what side is facing up.  Use it for taking the warming pan off the stove, as a coaster, or to help clean up the holiday messes.

As always feel free to change a pattern's aspects.  Just please don't try to sell the patterns as your own.

If you have any questions about the pattern, please email me at GridMammalCrafts@gmail.com and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Enjoy and be safe out there.

Mulled Apple Cider

Ingredients

4 qts. Apple cider or juice

1 orange's worth of fresh squeezed orange juice

1 lemon's worth of fresh squeezed lemon juice

4 Tbsp. sugar

6 cinnamon sticks

4 tsp. whole cloves

(Additional cinnamon sticks for garnish are optional.)

Directions

1. Mix ingredients in a large saucepan on medium heat.
2. Stir occasionally and bring to a boil.  
3. Let the cider cool and then strain out the solid bits.
4. When ready to serve, reheat and pour into cups.  Garnish with cinnamon sticks, if desired.
5. Save any unused portions in the fridge.

Notes

For the apple juice or cider that is used for the base, try to find one that is 100% juice.

I usually save the container that the apple cider/juice came in to put the extra cider into for storage.

Goes well with dark or spiced rum.

Snowflake Hot Pad

 

Materials:

            Size 3, 3.25 mm Knitting Needles

            1 skein Brown Sheep, Cotton Fine, 80% Cotton & 20% Merino Wool

                        1.75 oz. (50 g); 222 Yards (203 m)

                        Color CF115 Driftwood

            1 skein Brown Sheep, Cotton Fine, 80% Cotton & 20% Merino Wool

                         1.75 oz. (50 g); 222 Yards (203 m)

                         Color CF590 Lapis

            Darning Needle

Gauge:

            26 stitches x 36 rows = 4”x4”

Finished Size:

            8 ¾” wide x 7” tall

Notes:

            Pattern is done in double-knit, so the back side will be the opposite pattern from the front.

            Cast on 55 stitches with both colors at once.

            With the cast on, make sure that the yarn colors alternated the same way with each stitch, starting with the lighter color, followed by the darker color.

            Odd numbered rows are right side; even numbered rows are wrong side.

            Each stitch is comprised of the front and the back stitch.  Knit the front stitch first, and then purl the back stitch in the opposite color.

            Twist yarn before starting each row.

            Finish all 55 rows, and then bind off both colors at the same time with a knit 2 together bind off.

Here is a chart of the snowflake if you are just looking at one side. Remember, if you work off of this chart, you will need to do the opposite color on the knit side every other row.

Now if you would like a little help so you don't have to turn your brain around every other row, here is the chart as you will knit it row by row. Each row shows the knit stitch color for that row.

Happy cooking. :)

Late Autumn Cap to Knit

The night chill has turned into the morning frost, and as the days get shorter, there seems to be more and more to do.  It's the beginning of the holiday season, and the time to spend with family and friends remembering the warmth of summer and the joy of a large meal.

With all the social obligations, work, and preparation to do this time of year it's hard to find the time to sit and make something.  This is why I tend to work on smaller projects in this season that are more mobile and take up less space.  One of my favorites is a cabled stocking cap.

Each cap uses only one skein of yarn and fits into a small basket or bag while you are working on it.  If you do not wish to keep it for yourself, this cap also makes an excellent present.  The cabling wraps around the repeats to give the hat a seamless quality.  The ribbed brim can be folded up or down to just keep the top of the head warm or to protect the ears from the winter winds.

I hope that you enjoy this hat as much as I do.  Feel free to change the yarn, the gauge, or the size.  Just please don't try to sell the patterns as your own.

If you have any questions about the pattern, please email me at GridMammalCrafts@gmail.com and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Autumn Days

The days grow shorter, yet there seems to be more packed into every moment.

There are a lot of people who think of autumn as the dying season, when the plants shed their fruit and their leaves before the real cold sets in.  I prefer to think of it as a reminder that everything needs time to rest.  So like the bears, it's time to snuggle up with a good meal and rest awhile.

Over the past year I have heard announcements for more births than I can remember, and with little ones comes little clothes, and toys, and a menagerie of accessories for each new person.

In honor of all of these kids and the need to slow down some evenings to take life a bit slower, I present a baby blanket to wrap the little one in.  It incorporates cables to keep the pattern interesting, and a different shape to lend to a variety of folding and wrapping options.

When life gets going to fast, it can be hard to slow down, but that's usually when it's most worth it.  I hope this blanket can hold someone you care about too.

Feel free to change the yarn, the gauge, or the size.  Just please don't try to sell the patterns as your own.  

If you have any questions about the pattern, please email me at GridMammalCrafts@gmail.com and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
