Make It With Madison

This is a pattern I've been wanting to make for a while. I've crocheted a twist headband before for a library program, but thought it would be fun to try a knit version. I might actually enjoy making these headbands more than I enjoy making beanies! They definitely use less yarn! I used my Addi king-size knitting machine for this project, which has 46 needles.

Yes, the rice is purple! You can use any rice you want for this recipe, but I chose a wild rice mix with riceberry rice that turns all the rice grains purple.

It could fit some containers, but not a pie dish like I was hoping, so for this post I ended up changing the size to be a few inches bigger so everything should fit! I have so many cute fabrics I woul

It's been chilly this week! I've really been craving a beef stew, but sadly I haven't felt like going to the store to buy a beef roast, so I'm making due with other meals for now. This chicken curry soup is amazing and the spices make this hot soup perfect for colder days. I used chicken thighs for this recipe because they are more flavorful, but chicken breasts would work too! Feel free to add any additional vegetables you wish, this soup (like most soups) is fairly versatil
