Yes, I've been busy. But aside from work, I've been doing some fun things. For example, I've discovered the joys of letting bread dough rise in the refrigerator. I had to stay home yesterday (had digital phone installed from the local cable company, hope that works out!). I made dough, let it rise, and then made it into cinnamon rolls for this morning. Put the rolls in the fridge for the second rising and then baked them this morning. See?
And I've been knitting a sample for the store. I'm teaching the Velvety Cable Scarf again from Scarf Style. However, Muench seems to be behind on their production of the Touch Me Yarn. I'm making this sample out of Uruguay Chunky Alpaca from the Queensland Collection. No felting needed at the end. It's looking very nice, if I say so myself (and so does everyone else who's seen it!).
The rolls look wonderful. You must tell me more about the "second rising in the fridge" part.

Great idea...haven't baked anything in a while because it's been so flipping hot here but baking first thing in the morning could work! Maybe I can tempt fall into making an appearance. Hmmm.
That scarf is absolutely beautiful!

Those look yummy!
And that scarf looks fabulous. Reminds me of comfy sweaters that I miss wearing because either winter is not wintery enough or work is so fricking hot during the winter that I practically have to wear summer clothes to work.
