October 2025

October flew by in a flurry of baking and a bit of knitting -  here is a summary of October:

Finished knitting a pair of Celebration Socks by Alice Kim in a new to me yarn called Wisdom Yarns in Horizon, which was a really fun yarn to work with and hard to put down with the next color change just a few stitches away.

My garden was VERY fruitful this year and I couldn't get enough tomatoes.

I made Apple Fritters! And Dutchies! Wow are homemade donuts amazing! These did not last long at all and seem to be appreciated by everyone who was lucky enough to nab one. The receipe I used was Dutchies and Apple Fritters by Ruth Tam of Cook Til Delicious.

I also made a Spiced Coffee Crumb Cake and tried my hand at a Lemon-Cream Cheese Danish Bread from Ruth Tam's cookbook Baked to Order, both turned out very scrumptious and I cannot wait to bake more from Ruth's cookbook.

The last bit of October baking was Almond Poppyseed Sourdough Scones also on Ruth's Substack Cook Til Delicious, these didn't last the day and I can't wait to make a batch to freeze and eat on demand.

In crochet, I worked on a blanket, taking over for a friend who is having trouble with her eyesight. It was a cute little project called Alphabet Baby Blanket Puff Stitch by Pam.

That's it - Happy crafting! Nic ♥
