Yarn is simply soft and ice cream cotton blend (again, lol). I think I might make a couple in Elsa colors ☺️.

Maybe a crochet kit like this

The book can be found here Or rented from the library!

Get this cookbook and try one of the dough recipes with honey in it. A cookie rolling pan is essentially a cookie mold in rolling pin form.

I can't help you with Youtubers. I am so damn old I figured it out reading books and magazines and just plain doing it myself. The seventies was a wonderful time for t-shirts. I wanted them to fit properly so I had to learn now to adapt them.

I found Marcy Tilton's T-shirt book to be very helpful. It goes pretty cheap used. book

I got mine used off amazon and it’s just called the Beer Making Book. Has 52 seasonal recipes

Brooklyn Brew Shop's Beer Making Book: 52 Seasonal Recipes for Small Batches https://www.amazon.com/dp/0307889203/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_FHAtDbB8PRMN9

Pattern is from this book (it’s the pinecone pattern): https://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Balls-Knit-Decorations-Centerpieces/dp/1570769591/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=55+christmas+balls+to+knit&qid=1601919222&sprefix=55+ch&sr=8-3

The navy yarn is Simply Soft and the rainbow is lion brand Ice Cream Cotton Blend. I used a plastic ball in the middle of mine, which I love the look of but was a little tricky to knit the final decreases around lol.

I made a peanut butter porter and it turned out surprisingly well. Recipe can be found in Brooklyn Brew shops beer making book. Think the secret was using natural peanut butter, which separates. I was able to drain almost all of the head and equipment hurting oils and the result was amazing. I even had a German drink it and he only hated it a little.

Along those lines, Brooklyn Brew Shop has a book with some great small batch recipes. Definitely worth checking out. I loved starting with their kit (for a batch) and then moving away from the kits but still using recipes before starting to make my own.

I was in your situation. We had a quick close and didn't know anything about pools on the day of the closing. Fortunately, our lease was going for another month and the previous owners asked if they could stay another month, so I had time to read a book about pool maintenance. This is the book, by the way.

I definitely agree with that book recommendation. This is a good one too, by the same authors and also has the footnotes for scaling up to 5 gallons.

I found them in a book by Caitlin Sainio - this one iirc.

Oh, it's beautiful! It's funny, I actually just picked up this stocking book myself because I decided my husband and I just had to have real stockings this year. You're not the only one with Christmas on the brain this summer!

Thank you, it's from the book http://www.amazon.co.uk/Creepy-Cute-Crochet-Zombies-Ninjas/dp/1594742324

I did have a lot of help from my girlfriend, that's her cat blanket is under mine. She got very fed up of counting to make sure I had done that row correctly.

Go to the library and find this book. It will get you set up with all your equipment and it has 52 recipes (52 weeks in a year. Coincidence? I think not) for 1 gallon batches. This book doesn't have great brewing theory and its not very technical but it will get you the basics.

You can buy equipment kits for around $50, but you can piece together the kit for a little bit cheaper. Piecing together your own kits gives you more freedom, like getting a refractometer instead of a hydrometer, which in my opinion is a must have for 1 gallon batches.

If you are doing 1 gallon batches, just go with all-grain. In a 1 gallon batch, I find it easier than extract. Northern Brewer does sell 1 gallon extract kit, they run about $15. All the ingredients for an all grain batch will run you about $10, but you'll have yeast and hops left over to make a second batch. Your second batch will be about $3 in grains.

I started with 5 gallon batches and after 3 years of making mediocre beer, I switched to 1 gallon batches and enjoy it alot more.

Head over to the library and find Brooklyn Brew Shop Beer Making Book. This offers 53 recipes, all of them 1 gallon and all grain. When you are doing 1 gallon batches, you need no special equipment. Most of the batches cost less then $7 in ingredients. This is where most of my beers come from. I can usually have a batch brewed in about 2.5 hours.

Dont be afraid to take recipes you find on line and scale them down.

I personally wouldn't bother with trying to make 1 gallon extract kits, when all grain is so easy at this size.

I am just getting into the stage where I want to start experimenting. I think soon there will be an oatmeal cream ale.

Hi, I didn't forget to find the link, I promise! I just had the hardest time figuring out what it was. Turns out it wasn't a YouTube video at all, but this Craftsy link and the instructions from the book Creepy Cute Crochet. The patterns in that book are stupid adorable.
