Thanksgiving

I hope you all had a lovely, relaxing Thanksgiving. I know we did. I still have very little appetite from all of that delicious food: stuffing, rolls, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, cookies, pies...mmmmmm so good. Although I didn't manage to get any pictures of the food (it was gone so fast!), I did get some photos of relaxation in the morning.

Began my morning with a coffee...

....then got right down to the ads....
...while the pup slept on and off...
...and watched the Macy's Day Parade....
...while knitting.

On Clouds of Yarn

With the remainder of the yarn I used to make my hat, I decided to make a scarf. I didn't want a plain scarf (knit, purl, knit, purl...boring, boring), so I decided to look for a new pattern that would hold my beginner's interest. I found this "drop stitch" pattern from Craftlog and fell in love with it.
I really love this yarn. It looks like clouds. I could just sleep in it.

Sunday, I Love You...

Sundays are by far my favorite day of the week: no work, no school, stress free...only relaxation and occasional knitting. Yesterday was a little cool outside so we started the fire and I began a hat. It was my first hat, so I didn't expect much, but it actually turned out better than I had hoped. Not that I would ever wear it in public...the seam is terrible....I'll have to work on that for the next hat.

The pattern was out of a book called The Yarn Girls' Guide to Beyond the Basics, available on Amazon.com.
