give thanks

Happy Thanksgiving. I have a few minutes to spend (not spare) off to finishe the preparations (read make the turkey and stuffing) I was looking something up on the net and looked out my front door to see this:

It's gorgeous. Gone now but thankfully captured in my memory and on digital photography.


Here's my winter möbius purse

Pattern: WInter Möbius bag by Cat Bordhi from the 2nd treasury of knitting
Yarn: Paton's classic wool (merino)
Color: Chestnut Brown and worn denim
Needle: US 11
Recipient: me

It's actually warm to wear. the strap is the möbius part and it acts as a kind of thin wrap when you wear it. It took me a while to post because I wanted to line it. So I needed to clean out the machine...etc but now it's ready to go for making gifts.

I have more to post but no time right now.

Have a wonderful holiday. I hope that you spend it with all your loved ones. Remember to tell them how thankful you are that they are in your life!

Happy Turkey Day

hope they all were able to hide! (being a vegetarian...)

We're off to my Brother and SIL's house who has graciously taken over hosting this year since our dad just got out of the hospital yesterday from his surgery. We were afraid he might still be in and they live about 15 minutes from the hospital as opposed to us (who usually host Thanksgiving) who live about 100 minutes away...at any rate, it will be good to all be together again as I don't know how many more holidays we'll have with the rents.

Just wanted to post a picture of the balaclava that I made for DS2. Of course he refuses to wear it as such (which was the whole point of making it) but DS1 loves it so he is modeling for me. Actually it fits him a bit better than it does his younger brother and he wants it so it shall be his! I'll put more details in later with a better picture.

Here's another DW cloth I finished for the Christmas stack. Won't say who this is for in case they read this blog (doubtful but you never know) If you want the specifics on the DW cloth go to the sidebar and click on the Infamous Darrell Waltrip cloth link under 2007 FOs all the info will be under that picture. I can say that the one in today's photowas knit with Early American Ombre colorway of Sugar and Cream. I love the colors!

I have been spinning VERY sporadically.. perhaps I'll take some along with my knitting today.

have a blessed holiday and happy crafting
