Happy Thanksgiving to YOU

By -
 Hope your Tom was as delicious as ours. 
 I finished the Drop Stitch Cowl this morning.  I only had ends to weave in.  This is SpiderWomanknits pattern On Ravelry.  
I did not use super bulky yarn.  It is a bit short, but for a loose lovely cowl and occasional head cover it is good.   I used some expensive Ela Rae Chunky Merino; (two skeins) . This yarn is soft and spongy.  

 The Cowl is a gift to Zach's girlfriend Ale, in Mexico.  It will be just right for cooler nights in Leon.  I hope she loves it. She told me orange was one of her favorite colors.... 
She was so sweet and her family so welcoming to us that I wanted to thank her. 
The results of my Thanksgiving poll were tallied.  The winner by a landslide, for favorite eats, was Stuffing or Dressing as some say.  Hope you enjoyed the day.  I'm so thankful for knit pals and all the free patterns on Ravelry.

The cowl is just perfect when you need a little something to ward off the chill.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and the Fireman.

I'm at my sister's house and knitting socks while visiting and smelling the turkey and sides in the oven. Soon, the meal will be served - I'm hungry.

Went for a long uphill walk this morning after breakfast and may take another one this afternoon.

She will adore the cowl and because you made it especially for her it will be even more special. Your turkey looks very yummy, hope you had a wonderful day. I know you missed Zach and AL.
Hugs to you,
Meredith

Our ground turkey spaghetti was good, but a bit different from our traditional Thanksgiving fare :) I could almost smell your yummy looking turkey right through the computer screen! The cowl you knit is beautiful and I am sure will be treasured. Thanks for posting! xx from Gracie

A few friends got together for Thanksgiving, and we all brought something for the table. Yum. It was all good. Stuffing with turkey gravy is hard to beat. One friend brought a cherry pie which she made from cherries picked in Wisconsin. Oooo...it was so tasty!

I think the orange cowl will be a hit. Lovely job!

That's so funny that everyone wanted stuffing! I didn't even make it because I don't like it at all. People at work down here said "mac and cheese", which I don't really consider to be a Thanksgiving food.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
