My scarf!

Hello everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while I've been really busy. And by really busy I mean watching The IT Crowd on netflix. 

So as I said last week, I had set a few goals for myself. Well, what do you know I stuck to them! And here is the scarf I made! Woohoo! Thank goodness to YouTube tutorials! 

So because I wanted to make a different version of an infinity scarf I made my own pattern! Well not really a pattern because it was in my head! So if any of you are interested here is how I made it!

Firstly, I cast on, then I knit one row, pearled the next and so on. I had 35 stitches in each row and I just cast off at my desired length and sewed three large buttons on using the thick cross stitching craft thread to connect the ends together!

And voila! How to make a kind of unique scarf!

1/4 cup pumpkin butter OR 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
3-4 tbs brown sugar (for topping)
nuts: pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions:
1. Cut bread slices into 1 inch cubes (I used dried bread cubes from a grocery store bakery). Use enough to fill a 9x13 greased baking dish.
2. In a large bowl whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, pumpkin butter (or puree), and pumpkin spice until well mixed. Pour over bread and push down with a spoon or hands until it is all soaked or mostly covered. Cover with lid or saran wrap, refrigerate overnight.
3. In the morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Uncover and top with brown sugar, additional pumpkin spice and nuts if desired. Bake 35-45 minutes until golden brown or until not longer wet.
4. Serve right away with maple syrup, honey or agave.
