MAKING

two garter stitch scarves—if you knit, use an aran weight to cast on 20 stitches on size 10 needles, and just garter stitch the heck out of it. Or, with DK weight yarn, cast on 22 stitches on size 9s and do the same. :) More on knitting in the Yarn Along!

King Arthur Flour’s Classic 100% Whole Wheat bread—this is really good! I didn’t have vegetable oil so I subbed olive oil. Worked fine. This is a really good bread to serve with soup or pasta as well.
