Yarn Along :: an experiment

I finished knitting the little hooded cape a few weeks ago, but still need to weave in the ends and sew on the toggle that I finally got for it this week.  There are a few mistakes, but that's how one learns, right? I started knitting this to use up some yarn that I wasn't terribly fond of, and I think perhaps I should have done a larger size, as there is quite a lot of extra yarn left.  Maybe a little vest to go with it? 

My oldest daughter has long been requesting mama-knit hat, so I figured that would be the perfect project to start on next. Plus, I can't seem to locate my size 1 DPNs for the little socks to go with the baby hat I knit last week. The Shibui baby hat pattern is so quick and easy to knit up that I decided to try my hand at sizing up a pattern.  So far I'm very pleased with how it's turning out, and hopeful that it will fit at least one of my girls. I'll share details next week once I finish and figure out if I need to make any adjustments. 

Even thought I hadn't gotten very far in reading Home Education, it was due back to the library.  I'll definitely need to get my own copy so I have time to really savor and digest it's pages.  While visiting a friend the other day she surprised me with a  couple of books that she had discovered on her shelves and thought I might be interested in. Yes please! Toymaking With Children has been on my list of 'want to read' books for quite sometime. It has given me just the motivation I needed to sort through our toys and organize a more kid friendly play space. I'm anxious to try out some of the patterns in this book.

Spinach Cheddar Quiche

Everyone loves breakfast around our house, and often serve it for dinner.  It's been a while since I've made one of my favorites, quiche. I'm so glad I pulled this recipe back out, as it is always a winner with everyone at the table, and very easy to make. The recipe calls for feta, which tastes divine, but I typically use what ever cheese I have on hand. This time it happened to be cheddar. 

This is the perfect recipe to have little ones help with, but beware of sneaky hands looking for a tasty morsel of cheese!

I served our Spinach Cheddar Quiche with the most delicious Pumpkin Pie Smoothies for a perfect fall dinner.  

What is your favorite meal to serve this fall? I love getting new ideas!
