The phase of Frantic Knitting has arrived – I have some holiday knitting to complete and yesterday Steve added one more item to my list!
So, that means this post is short on photos of things in process.
However, I can share my handspun Squad Mitts – they are for my sister who is not online at all, ever. (Weird, I know!) So, she will not see these here!
I simply love how they turned out and I have some left overs so there will be more pairs in the coming days!
My reading (listening) has been consumed by The Underground Railroad – I am almost done and I simply love this book! The reader is fantastic and the story is so compelling. I think this might be one of the best novels I have read this year and I highly recommend it!
Sadly, today there won’t be much knitting – but lots of cooking instead! Sweet potatoes are currently roasting in the oven and after they are done it is pumpkin pie time! All to get ready for tomorrows feast!
Linking up with Ginny’s Yarn Along and wishing you all a successful day of preparation!
Love those Squad Mitts! You are brave and thoughtful to attempt frantic holiday knitting. I only have a couple of holiday gifts to knit, and they are serving as my motivation to get preparations done early today so I can knit this afternoon. If only I hadn’t forgotten a few things at the grocery store (like always) I would be almost done. Wishing you a few moments for some relaxing knitting today!
What a beautiful color combination for your mitts! Very, very beautiful!
The Squad Mitts are really lovely!
I’ll bet your house smells good right now. 🙂
I love your mitts! They look so soft and are beautifully subtle in colour – waht a perfect gift!
Hm. I’ve been looking for a new audio book and Underground Railroad might be it, having heard good things from a few friends now!
I love your mitts!! I had to start v.3 at knit night the other night when I’d discovered that I was missing a ball of yarn… couldn’t find it, couldn’t find it… finally, it turned up yesterday!
Beautiful mitts. Happy reading and baking!
love the mitts!
I’m definitely going to bump Underground up on my listening list. Thanks for the recommendation!
Happy Thanksgiving. 🙂
Oh yes, I agree, Underground Railroad was a fantastic read! Happy Thanksgiving! I am grateful for friends who cook!
I’m on the library’s wait list for Whitehead’s book, but suspect it won’t show up until the new year. Something to look forward to in 2017!
Love those mitts! I bought Underground Railroad and can’t wait to listen, but I have The Nix in my ears right now – 21+ hours is gonna take me a while 🙂
Underground Railroad is in my queue (stack) of books to read…my one fiction title for the month and I am not going to get to it, that I can see…I have 7 new books coming from Amazon Sat 11/26 and I’m sure I’ll have my nose in them…in between stitches…
Hi Kat, As a fellow audiobook addict I’d love to take your recommendation for The Underground Railroad. You mention the great narrator – could you let me know the name of the narrator so I can make sure I get the same one?
beautiful mitts! I’ve been secret knitting for a few weeks and it drives me nuts because I want to tell everyone everything!!
