Jo Knits!

Happy turkey day!

As a Thanksgiving treat to myself, I decided to jump into a hot bath and relax with a trashy fashion magazine to read. I barely had time to read the 1st few pages that I hear a loud buzzing sound right next to me ears. I look around and to my horror shriek at the BEE in the bathroom. I roll up the magazine and slap the bee and it falls lifeless into the water. I yell and hop out of the tub, Carl finally comes and asks what's going on. All the bubbles and water go away and we see the insect. Let's just say that I decided to forego relaxing for today.

In a way to avoid all the projects accumulating dust, I started a new hat. I used some Peace Fleece yarn and forgot how nice and rusty it feels to knit with it. I adore the way this wool is, filled with flecks of all colors. The pattern is from d-made and is called the Twisted Lattice Cabled hat. I made it with a guage of 15sts and with all the cables it did come out a bit smaller but Zoe's really happy to inherit it. LOL! I have enough yarn to knit her matching mittens so she'll be set for the cooler days to come.

Lucas needed to pick up some fall leaves for a class project, so we spend most of yesterday walking around some unfamiliar parks and enjoyed the sunny day. We filled up our little book and took in some rays as they played around. It has been a great weekend with perfect weather.

I just noticed that I lost a file that had all my knitting notes from the last year. Sadly it had my favorite sock knitting notes in it too. Sigh... I had to go look up some of my handknit socks to remember how I do the toes. LOL! Have you all seen the Bayerische sock pattern? Know that if I had any sock color sock yarn here, I would be casting on today!!! See, I really am trying to avoid finishing any of my older projects. LOL!

hugs,
