Happy Turkey Day

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving planned for tomorrow. If you live in another country, celebrate anyway!  I discovered a last minute site for those of us who are recipe challenged. It even provides a shopping list. Several items on the menu appeal to me. If interested, take a look.

The Knotty Gloves are finished. The pattern was well written and I managed to make it through the chart without too many do-overs.  Photographing them proved to be a challenge, however.
















The other projects currently on needles are a top-down sweater:                   

and Squirrelly-Swedish mittens, a pattern that is available as a download on Ravelry.

There is also one more Noro Striped Scarf.

Project Completion

Our group yarn sale on Saturday was a huge success. Thom was a gracious host for the event and provided his shaded front yard for the sale. I was only able to stay until shortly before 10AM because Saturday is a teaching day for me at Skein.  Mindy, Larry(knitdad) and Judy manned the register and provided personal shopper service as requested. The consensus is that we will probably have another destashing event in a few months. 

On the knitting front, I have been working on mittens and gloves for Meghan....who soon will need them! She provided me with some fantastic pictures of the Druid Mittens in Boston. I hope you enjoy them.



















My personal favorite shot is on the table surrounded by lobsters...
Just off the needles and searching for the perfect buttons (I'm thinking acorns) are the Broad Street Mittens.Due off the needles sometime later today are the Knotty Gloves, a wonderful pattern that I have enjoyed making.
