Sinless Apple Crisp

First of all, I would make the world's WORST food blogger.

Seriously!

Pioneer Woman takes a photo of EVERY stinkin' step...and I wolf down my food and think "Darn, I should have blogged about that".

I have a couple options here...I could make another batch, which I will inevitably eat, or I can draw you a picture...

TADA!!! I totally made that!!!

It might look like turds (did I just type TURDS?? I have a 5 year old boy...this subject comes up a lot) in a blue hot tub...but that's just because I have the paintshop skills of a 2 year old!!!

What is this, you ask? It's Sinless Apple Crisp!!! I found the recipe on Pinterest but it called for sugar and microwaving in a freezer bag. I just couldn't microwave it in a freezer bag...so I grabbed a Vent n' Serve (shout out to Tupperware!!) so that I could get the same steaming action!

Sinless Apple Crisp

Servings: 1 starved girl who just wants desert

Ingredients

1 medium apple (peeled, cored and sliced or cubed)

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp cornstarch

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 TBSP water

Mix everything together and microwave for 2 minutes or until tender. I stirred in 1/4 cup oatmeal for a little texture and 1 TBSP cream. But even with all that, it was a total of 175 calories! The recipe I found had sugar added, but I don't think it is needed because of all the natural sugar in apples. And I wanted to keep the calories low and not have a sugar overload (or I would have eaten the ice cream in the freezer!)

BONUS: My house smells AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

I'm very content and full now...and not craving "naughty foods"!

I promise to never, ever, draw my food creations again.

EVER!

Karen Chemo Cap 5th Anniversary Makeover

I had someone ask me about the Karen Chemo Cap Fan Stitch and I decided the video and pattern were both in need of a make-over! Especially when I noticed this year is the 5th anniversary of publishing this pattern. When my mom had chemo I made her a few different hats because honestly it felt like the only thing I could do. I designed this one just for her, and was super excited when it was her favorite! After she passed I wasn't sure I wanted to release the design, but with a little time...it felt like the right thing to do! You can download the pattern for free here (please give it a favorite over on Ravelry so that it gets a little Ravelry love!!!): Ravelry: Karen Chemo Cap pattern by A Little Knitty Designs You can purchase the yarn we used here: Cumulus by Juniper Moon Farm (alittleknitty.com) Here is the video if you need help with the fan stitch!

Chemo Caps - Part 2

The Gia Chemo Cap doesn't have the same sort of story behind it as the Karen Cap , but it was developed with Chemo patients in mind! Please share this pattern with anyone who would like to knit a hat for someone in need! You can download your pattern here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/gia-chemo-cap

Copilot Remix

Years ago I found the Copilot Cowl by Dominique Trad on Ravelry and it had two of my ABSOLUTE favorite things...garter stitch and yarn overs! I cast one on for a trip I was taking and knit it while I was traveling. It was the perfect project to keep my attention, but I didn't need to take the pattern out constantly. After knitting one, I noticed that the length of it was just too long for my liking, I wanted it to be a simple, single-wrap cowl. I reworked it a little bit and it is my go-to when I have a skein of fingering weight yarn (especially if it is a singly-ply!!) Copilot Remix Materials: 1 skein 100g/440 fingering weight yarn (if your skein is a little more or a little less, no problem, I put in weights so you can use up all your yarn and not play yarn chicken!) US6/4mm 24" circular knitting needles Stitch...
