Babies Things.\\xa0 Have knitted everything in this chapter but the bonnet with the flap over the shoulders.

\\n

Leggings.\\xa0 I have made at least two pair.\\xa0 Red and white striped ones were the cutest.\\xa0 Not the most practical garment for modern moms.

\\n

Blanket knitted from center out.\\xa0 Have done it with lace and also in a heavier yarn with texture pattern and colorwork. Was told that pioneer woman put a cream or white border on blankets so Baby would perceive this is a boundary.\\xa0 Per my experience, did not work.

\\n

Double knitting blanket was a carriage blanket.\\xa0 I used Schoolhouse Press Sheepsdown and my own handspun.\\xa0 May have steeked and put a zipper in it.\\xa0

High Note:Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls/Cinnamon Raisin Bread.\\xa0 Used the Best Whole Wheat Bread Recipe from www.urbanhomemaker.com.\\xa0 Divided dough in half.\\xa0 One half for a loaf of bread and the other half made two pans of cinnamon rolls.\\xa0 Streusel:\\xa0 \\xbd c brown sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon.\\xa0 I use Penzey\\u2019s.\\xa0 Roll out dough.\\xa0 Spread with softened or melted butter.\\xa0 Sprinkle topping on and roll up.\\xa0 For the rolls I reserved a few Tbs topping.\\xa0 Took rolls out after 20 min.\\xa0 Brushed tops with butter and sprinkled on the streusel.\\xa0 Baked another 5 min.
