In life, as in knitting, don’t leave loose ends. Take the time to thank the people who matter in your life. — Reba Linker, Follow The Yarn
Welcome to the craziest Wednesday of the entire year… Thanksgiving Eve Day. If you have not begun T-day Prep, I am sorry because that means today is really crunch time for you!
As for me… I have just one pumpkin pie to make today. I am cheating on the pie crust and using a frozen one. I also need to toast up the bread cubes for tomorrow, but I can do that while I pre-bake my crust!
The Other Big Task for today is to get our lights up!
But before all that let me Unravel some Gratitude for you all!
- I am deeply grateful for those knits that require no counting, no charts to read, no increases or decreases. Just simple knitting that you can pick up and put down at a
momentstimer’s notice. My Pressed Flowers Wrap is really the PERFECT Thanksgiving Week knit! I can even stop in the middle of a row and not get confused about ‘where I am’! - This week has had a good bit of prep-time in the kitchen and all that time spent with an excellent audiobook is such a blessing! I have invited Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell to join my feast preparations and they are the perfect companions! (Of course, Sherman beats them both because he is the Superior Tidbit Snarfler although they do make the wash up much less tedious!)
- Finally… and to circle back to the quote above…I wanted to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for each of you… readers, bloggers, makers, and this week… feast preparers! You make this community one that feels close, caring, supportive, encouraging, and inspiring. Without you all, my life would be lacking so very much. Thank you all for taking the time to read this blog, for sharing your thoughts, for giving me ideas for new books to read and new things to make… and for helping this Blog-community be the loveliest corner of the internet!
And with that, I want to wish you all the most blessed Thanksgiving. I will be back tomorrow with some Gratitude of Abundance.

Superior Tidbit Snarfler — perfect! I can hear the noises he must make in my head from that description alone! I will not judge you a bit for using a premade crust, especially as I have never made my own crust from scratch (though it’s on my list for someday). Today, once work is done at 2, is all about baking dozens and dozens of pumpkin muffins. Tomorrow we’ll be making Ina Garten’s apple cranberry cake. I offered to do more, but my mother decided that was enough!
Thank you for providing this weekly space — Wednesdays are always my favorite days to blog!
I am thankful for you Kat. May your festivities be full of good food and fun!
I love that you can stop in the middle of a row of Pressed Flowers! My Kindle kept me company in the kitchen yesterday, but I think today it will be a sock or my Hitchhiker while I make the crescent rolls and pies. Loads of gratitude to you, Kat, for hosting Unraveled Wednesday. It’s my favorite day to blog also!
Agreeing with others and thank you Kat for blogging and being in my life as well as hosting Unraveled Wednesdays. Our blogging community is such a gift! Tidbit Snarfler had me cracking up. Thank goodness Mabel does not want human food (well, maybe butter…). Enjoy the feasting!!
Thank YOU, Kat, for hosting this lovely group of Unravelers each Wednesday. (It is a really awesome community.) 🙂 And enjoy your pie-making today. (JoJo takes her Tidbit Snarfling VERY seriously, too. She is on High Alert this week, let me tell ya.) And . . . watch out for those “mindless” knits. You never know when you’ll hit a “stupid streak,” y’know! 😉
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving Kat to you and your family!
May you have a wonderful holiday tomorrow. Thank you for hosting us again. Just want to apologise to everyone who only uses google for comments. It doesn’t let me comment as I don’t have a google account, but I do read your link.
Thank you for hosting these Wednesday posts. I look forward to them all week. Happy T’day to you and yours!
I am so grateful for our blogging community, too. It’s been a blessing in my life for a long time and I don’t know how I would have gotten through some of the really shitty stuff that has happened without all of you!
Happy feast prepping, Kat + Sherman! And what a beautiful opening quote. xo
Happy Thanksgiving Kat and all other Unravelers who celebrate. Best wishes from Down Under.
Thank you for hosting Kat and thank you to everyone who takes part. I know I’m not a regular weekly visitor but I certainly enjoy my visits when I do pop in. I’m in awe at the amount of socks and shawls being knitted….but those pick up put down knits certainly have something going for them as well.
Happy Turkey Day, Kat! I love your little corner of the world in PA. 🙂
Thank you for sharing Unraveled Wednesday with the rest of the readers. I am not often a commenter, but I do usually read the blogs. 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving Kat. A BIG thank you to you for hosting Unraveled Wednesday. I have met the most interesting kind intelligent group here. And buying a frozen pie crust is not cheating. A knit that can be put down and picked up is a good Thanksgiving week project.
