What’s up - Thanksgiving is over!!! Now on to Christmas.
WIP – The “Blue boy baby sweater” is coming along. I’m to sleeve #1. I’ve gotten 3 buttons added. The baby is already here! Sooooo I better hurry. I’m almost finished with the “Mint Green Helmet Hat”. I’m taking it to knitting tonight to find out how everyone finished their’s. I have an idea but before I commit I want to check out the options. I went to a reverse knitting class 2 weeks ago and am making an “Entrelac Scarf”. Also on the needles still……..the fingerless gloves. I did add the waste yarn.
What I’m Doing - My husband and I are going to a basketball game tomorrow night and of course I’m off to to knitting tonight and tomorrow. I want to start baking for Christmas. I went with a friend shopping on “Black Friday” and got some shopping done. Not many gifts this year as we’re going to Hawaii on Christmas Eve. My darling daughter told me not to decorate but I still put up most my “Christmas” stuff. Just because we’re not going to be here on Christmas what about the 30 days before? She does not have to decorate because they sold there house and now they are scrabbling to find a new house.
What Audio Books I’m Listen To – I finished “The Garden of Eden” by Fay Kellerman read by read by George Guidall and others. This audio book is a collection short stories. It was very good. Now I’m listening to “The Game of Silence” by Louise Erdrich read by Anne Fields. This is rated as a “juvenile” book but I find it very good. About american Indians and the 1600’s.
I’m still listening to “Eye Contact” by Cammie Mc Govern on a playaway. It’s easy to take along to “Curves” and listen while I’m working out!

Tonight: Mainly clear. Low 21F. Winds light and variable.

What’s Going On – A date with my husband tonight. We will go to a local UAA Men’s basketball game. Tomorrow knitting workshop with KON and in the evening a Knitting Class at the Knitting Grounds.
WIP – Fingerless mitten is still and orphan… but I’m to the thumb. The “boy baby sweater” is coming along .. 3 buttons and I’m almost to the sleeves. I got my order from “Knit Picks”. More needles? And a little yarn that was on sale. Some that my LYS was out of. I’ve got a “Cable top down hat” in Mint green (see picture) that I’m working on for a Belated Birthday Present. Its fun and fast but the directions leave a lot to be desired. It’s a good thing that Zaynab and Grandma got me going!
What I’m Doing – Getting ready for Thanksgiving and trying to think about Christmas. We will be in Hawaii for part of Christmas with my daughter. It won’t seem like it but I’m going to decorate anyway.

Read by Julia Fletcher. In the car I’m listening to “The Garden of Eden” by Faye Kellerman read by George Guidall. It’s a collection of short stories and very good.

wet snow and icy roads.

What’s Going On – Friday Night Knit@thegrounds tonight! I’m going to start ona helmet hat for a birthday present for an 11 year old. Tommorrow is Knitters of the North and we have to bring the snack. Hmmm what to make?
WIP – This week I’m working on the fingerless mittens still. I bought eyelet buttons for the “boy baby sweater”. So far I’ve added to buttons. I really like knitting the button on the same row as the button hole. If I use double point needles for the sleeves then when I’m finished all I have to do is block! I need to have this sweater done by next Friday. We’ll see.
What I’m Doing – This weekend KON and relaxing and knitting. I do need to grocery shop. Get geared up for thanksgiving. I hate to go to the commissaray though. Why does thanksgiving and Christmas fall on the “woman” of the house.
What Audio Books I’m Listen To – I’m still listening to “The Burnt House” by Faye Kellerman. In the car I’m listening to “10 Days in the Hills” by Jane Smiley. She’s a good writer but…. There are places where I fast forward because she gives too much information. I also am listening to a playaway – ‘Eye Contact” by /cammie Mc Govern. Read b?y Julia Fletcher. It’s a novel about an Autistic child and the prejudices that go with raising a child with special needs. I really like the idea of these “Playways” they are light and compact and I expecially like them when I’m working out at Curves. Which I got to go 2 times this week.
Weather - Sounds like it going to snow……
Tonight: Cloudy with rain and snow showers this evening. Snow showers overnight. Low 31F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precip 40%.
Tomorrow: Mostly cloudy with scattered snow showers mainly during the morning. High 34F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 40%.
Tomorrow night: Flurries and a few snow showers throughout the night. Low 28F. Winds ENE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 30%.
Sunday: Snow showers at times. Highs in the low 30s and lows in the mid 20s.
Monday: Morning snow showers. Highs in the upper 20s and lows in the low 20s.
