A little bit of this, a little bit of that...

First off, night shift sucks. Now that we have established that, let me move on the the items I've been meaning to share...
1) Bread recipe...
my breadmaker makes 1lb loaf, you put in the dry ingredients first, so I'll just list the ingredients and you can adjust as needed.
Irish Raisin Bread
1 1/2 tsp dry yeast
2 cups bread flour
2 Tbs sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbs sweet butter
1 medium egg
1/4 cup warm water
1/3 cup warm milk
1/2 cup raisins (added after secondary kneading)

I really love this, especially warm!

2) the finished baby kimono:

(okay, so the picture upload thing isn't working... I'll update later.) For anyone on ravelry, its in my projects list... Jaka13

3) um... I thought there was something else I wanted to post, but I guess not. Headed up north tomorrow morning for brief visit - starting some Monkey Socks from Knitty.com in Dream in Color Smooshy yarn for the trip. (was enabled by all the ladies at the yarn shop even though I have some Zen String waiting for a project)

Waterfall sock #1 is done!

I have finished sock number 1 and number 2 is on the needles, ready to start the lace pattern. I may just finish this sock before then next shipment arrives after all!

I love the Koigu beret, Jean - fabulous. I can't wait to get on Ravelry, either, but I'm going to have to find a weekend to devote to uploading all of my information, and I don't even have a lot of projects going at any one time!

Here is the recipe for the whole wheat bread:

1 1/2 cup minus 2 TBLSP hot water

1/4 cup oil

1/4 cup honey

4 cups whole wheat flour (I use fine ground organic wheat)

1/2 cup bread flour

2 tsp salt

1 tsp vital wheat gluten

1 TBLSP yeast (SAF yeast is the best)

Liquids go in the bottom of the bread maker, then the flour. Salt and gluten go on the top on the sides, and the yeast goes in a well in the center so it doesn't touch the other ingredients.

Settings:

Preheat : 18 min

Knead: 20 min

Rise1: 46 minutes

Rise 2: 50 minutes

Rise 3 - off

Bake: 36 minutes

I love this bread recipe. I hope it works for you!
