The crust is the outside of the bread; the crumb is the inside. Look at those lovely holes! And the texture is great. This is so not like my normal loaf of bread. Same ingredients: flour, water, salt, yeast, but different proportions. The no-knead loaf is pretty wet, and that's what gives the crumb those holes. The taste is different, too. I like both my breads, the normal one, and the no-knead one. I can see a bread like this with soup or stew.
What can I say? Here it is, the second attempt at a no-knead bread baked in my Dutch oven. I've made many no-knead breads in the past, and then forgot about the technique. Saw Jim Lahey make his version of a no-knead, and thought I'd play with it again. First dough was way too liquid, so I tightened this dough up a bit and here it is. It's too hot for me to cut, but I'm looking forward to it.
A sweater and a pair of socks for the Kid. Knitting for someone 1500 miles away is always shaky. I need to try thing on and he's not here. So if there's a problem, the sweater will have to come back and I'll make adjustments. I have the feeling that it will be too short in the body as well as the sleeves. He's growing and may have gotten taller since I got these measurements.
Knitted in KnitPicks Brava Sport, which is my favorite acrylic yarn. Wears and washes like iron, and mom doesn't have to treat it delicately.
And a pair of Kid socks. Yes, they will fit. They are scrunched up because I've used a k2,p2 rib and that compresses until you put on the socks. Then they fit. He has skinny legs. I tried them on and if I can wear them, so can he.
These are helix socks, knitted with 3 different sock yarns. The green and yellow are solid yarns, and the variegated one is from a pair of socks I made for me. I love making these, but they are fiddly and take time. Still, fun to wear and a good use of leftover yarns. And, of course, I now have leftovers of the leftovers. Sock yarn, like quilting cotton, never seems to go away.
Here's a closeup of the socks.
