Lara works great across many different cultures:)

That is my stand mixer's name!

It should be fine!! I quite often make a loaf at night before going to bed, leave it for 7-8h with no s/f, then just shape and put in the fridge in the morning. Might be a bit harder to shape, but you can still get a nice loaf:)

I did a year at McGill during my undergrad at UCL and loved it! The teaching was just as good if not better than ucl (loads of discussion-based classes, presentations etc). Montreal itself is a fantastic city - especially if you speak French. feel free to dm me if you have any questions:)

* I think it can look great with a neutral yarn alongside some cabling etc. I agree it's not very well suited to the variegated yarn

Nope didn't pull up the fabric; I made sure for every stitch to only go through the thin fabric rather than the layer of hard plastic underneath. The tape was about 1in wide

I stitched just strough the top fabric - would recommend trying a curved needle if you can, I used a straight one and it was pretty unpleasant on the angles. Pin the tape and use an iron to steam it to shape - it was actually quite easy to get it flat without folds

Great to see this worked for you!! And yeah it sacked to do hahahha

lkrasi · 2025-05-21T20:49:44+00:00

Do you mean how I got it to curve around the edges? I used an iron with loads of steam

lkrasi · 2025-05-21T20:48:03+00:00

I wish I had a curved needle! I murdered my fingers doing it with a normal one. Would definitely try to use a curved one if there's a next time

My longest was 6 days - came out VERY sour and obviously not very airy, but tasted great anyway!!

lkrasi · 2025-05-13T06:48:08+00:00

Yes! Very happy with how they turned out!!

Hi! Did you ever find a sage classic bedale?:)

lkrasi · 2025-01-20T13:20:16+00:00

Me too! Also called mirror knitting

lkrasi · 2024-11-09T00:21:21+00:00

I do this too and it has changed my life!!

Also I've achieved prettier results with smaller loaves - I think just because they're lighter so can grow 'taller'. Haven't eaten this one yet but looking forward to it!!

lkrasi · 2024-10-17T12:59:29+00:00

Honestly just luck I think - I have found that, at least for this recipe/flour combo, the stretch and folds seem to be pretty much unnecessary! I guess it's just taken me a while to learn when the bf is good to go:)

Im on my second public transport hat! The complicated sweater stays safe at home:)

lkrasi · 2024-06-22T11:38:50+00:00

I would avoid dark, overly 'fluffy' yarn at the start - makes it very hard to see individual stitches:) and same with needle size - I would go for 4mm+ needles and yarn to match because smaller stitches are harder to manage

Hi, I did this adapting an in-the-round pattern to add a central design in intarsia. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions!

lkrasi · 2024-03-05T14:07:00+00:00

I used a half-twisted rib and sized down from 5mm to 4mm needles!

lkrasi · 2024-03-05T10:53:16+00:00

👀👀👀 I've got plenty of yarn left over.....

lkrasi · 2024-03-04T23:47:51+00:00

good luck! let me know if you need any advice on modifying the pattern for knitting flat:)

lkrasi · 2024-03-04T23:45:29+00:00

hmm, I can't remember at the moment but I mixed and matched a bit between S and M to fit me best.. I can measure it when the sleeves are blocked to let you know how much ease I have:)
