I'm baaaaaaaaaaack! It's been crazy in the last few months, including moving our home. Things have settled down and I have time for baking and crocheting again.
Today I'm going to start off with a crocheting tip. For those of you that ever have to do decrease stitches (aka sc2tog, dec, etc), there are various ways to do them. Decreases are found often in amigurumi. One way is to just sc together the two stitches. Another way is to also sc together two stitches, but to just pick up the front loop for these two stitches only.
I don't really like either method because it looks a bit messy to me. I've recently discovered that instead of decreasing in the usual method, skipping a stitch ends up looking more nicer. I don't have pictures to show yet, but I'll post some if my last two paragraphs are too confusing.
Anyways, onto cooking. My family are huge fans of apple pies, so I make them often. Probably not often enough. Today, I decided to try making mini-apple pies in my muffin pan. Here's the final result:
Not bad. I'll have to do a taste test with some vanilla ice-cream.
