Greetings Unraveler’s!
First up, I really LOVED all your answers to Monday Questions! My mouth was absolutely watering… I had to look up Watergate Salad (which I had never, ever even heard of before – much less eat!) and I am now very eager for the EATING to begin! lol
I had hoped to share the finished Advent Calendar… but it has not arrived yet. I have my finger’s crossed for next week!
Instead, as you can see above, I have started a second sock! And I am really loving Former Me who made such wonderfully detailed notes! I don’t have to think at all while knitting… it is simply the best!
Also… someone asked what yarns I used for the hat in this post. Sorry about that, I should have told you… I followed this pattern and used one skein of Hudson+West Weld and one skein of Wobble Gobble KidMo held together. I have LOTS of the KidMo leftover and I am thinking it might find its way into a cowl in the coming days! Karen knit one earlier this month that I think would be a fun knit and I have some handspun Cormo that would be a lovely companion to that fuzzy yarn!
These days, a sock and a cowl are about the extent of my Knitting Brain Bandwidth.
Unrelated to my making this week… I stumbled across this darling little stop motion video recently! I love all the needle felting, the knitting (the sweaters on the bunnies are just adorable!), and the hand sewing (That skirt! The Apron! Those trousers! That winter coat!!!) What an incredibly creative way to use wool! I thought you might all enjoy seeing it too!
As for the reading this week. I have two finishes to share but I will do that next week. I am in the midst of reading Matrix though… and I am wondering where this story will go! It is a curious book!
However, no reading or knitting will be happening soon… I have a list of things to prep and bake today for Thanksgiving!
What about you? What is keeping you occupied today?
As always, if you wrote a post to share please leave your link below and thank you!
I wish you all the Happiest Thanksgiving and I will see you all back here on Monday… (with an update on my word, if you can believe it!)
I am crossing my fingers for the safe delivery of the Advent calendar and am glad to see that you have started a second sock. I think that cowl will be delightful and I thank you for the video. There are several people that I will be sending it along to and I think they will enjoy it as much as I did. Today is my day for making crescent rolls and I hope to have time for a little knitting on my Antler cardigan later. Happy Thanksgiving, Kat!
That video clip is the BEST Kat – thanks for sharing. So clever and just beautifully done. Your second sock is looking good. I have some things to do today, but since Colin & Mailing are hosting dinner tomorrow, there is not really ALL that much I need to do. Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!!
Like Bonny, my fingers are crossed that the Advent calendar is delivered safely very soon!
Thank you for sharing that adorable video. I just sent it to my daughter so she can watch it when she wakes up, and I know she’ll love it as much as I did!
I hope today isn’t too crazy for you and that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
That video is darling. I sent it on to my SiL and niece who are great Christmas crafters.
I am getting ready to have family for Thanksgiving tomorrow. My sister is hosting it at my house so I have less cooking to do this year. Yay!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Former me amazes me and I appreciate when she writes notes, but sometimes she doesn’t. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
I loved, loved that Christmas video! It reminded me of a book I read every Christmas as a child. Good memories. A very Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Onto that second sock. Hooray. The yarn combination for a cowl looks very pretty. My Mom once made that Watergate salad. The video was darling. I too sent it along to a few people. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I hope your dinner is delicious.
I like your sock so far. I loved the video you posted it was so cute and love the song. Happy Thanksgiving!
Ohmygoodness! How adorable is that little fiber-y video??? Thanks so much for sharing!
I hope you had a wonderful holiday — and that you can spend today just kicking back and relaxing. XO (And . . .Matrix is a very curious book, alright. I need to talk about it. . . )
What a sweet Youtube – thank you! I’ve got instrumental winter playing on repeat and that’s a perfect complement! I read Matrix earlier this month and revisited it yesterday to update my book journal. suffice to say I loved it and Lauren Groff is now a must-read author for me (I also read Arcadia and it was a great pairing!)
