The last Friday before Thanksgiving looms large in my house. While I did pretty good at checking off most of my list, I did not quite get everything crossed off…Refrigerator, I am looking at you! But a rainy Friday and an engaging audio book will help me get it cleaned out this morning! (Proof on Monday, I promise!)
(sort of) Tiny Gnomes –
My Gnome knitting is completed and delivered! The hat was absolutely the fussiest part of the entire thing. But he is so cute, and Steve’s mom loved this new addition to her collection!
Gaining –
Yes, I am making progress in my other knitting project(s)! I have finally reached the point of joining the fronts and back of Evening Dew!! AND, I have the heel flap *almost* done on sock one of those Gift Socks!
IN love –
I had been thinking that this “half-hat” would be perfect, but then I saw this in the first Making Winter! I have yarn that will work, and my subscription has been renewed (just this morning!) Entrelac vs Colorwork… it seemed an easy choice! PLUS!! Making Winter is full of more lovely little things that could keep me busy the entire winter season and beyond!
Fiona and the Women –
I have been watching the impeachment hearings faithfully, and while I have been so impressed and comforted at the steady, hard-working, doing the right thing career government employees, Dr. Fiona Hill really was something to behold. I have a bit of a fan-girl crush on her – she is incredibly well-spoken, smarter than everyone in the hearing room, and with incredible recall. She has attained Superhero status in my book!
And adding to all my joy over Dr. Hill – did you catch the debate on Wednesday night? There were more women than men on the stage! Of the 14 on stage, there were 8 women including the 4 moderators. IMO, it was the best debate thus far. And, I am thinking this morning how much better everything would be if smart women were in charge.
And, that is all I have for this week! I hope you all have a great weekend and I will see you all back here on Monday!
What a great week! That gnome is adorable, you are progressing on Evening Dew and the gift socks. I think the refrigerator can wait!
I’ve also been captivated by the impeachment hearings. Anyone who put out her pigtails on fire and continued taking a test is one tough woman. Here’s hoping that Senators (the ones who seem to live in some alternate reality) will see the light and do what’s right when the time comes.
Your little gnome is darling!
LOVE your gnome! Also, love the half-hat you decided to make. I love many of the projects in Making Winter and may pick one up at the LYS.
The gnome was well worth all the fussiness — so cute!
I did not get a chance to watch the debate on Wednesday because we were out at the movie, but I agree that things would really be quite different if women ran the show!
The gnome is adorable! And yes, let’s go back to a matriarchal society please!
woot for the gnome – she turned out beautifully!! I am in love with so many of the projects in Making’s Winter. (and excited to see what their print publications reveal in 2020!)
Your gnome is indeed adorable. I once saw a little quote that went something like this, “If women ruled the world and we all got massages, we could have a world at peace.” I hope you had a good weekend.
The gnome is so cute — and well worth the fuss of the hat! So glad Steve’s mom likes it. (I knew she would . . . ) Drinking from my favorite mug this morning. It says, ” Women grow more radical with age. One day an army of gray-haired women with take over the earth.” May it be truth. XO
I LOVE your gnome!! What a cutie – and you did such a spectacular job!
That gnome is sooo darn cute.
