TWO Finished Slippers, Ah, Ah, AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Guess what day it is????  I hope this finds you safe and well; we're good here.

We're also preparing for another T-giving when we cook our butts off all day and then eat the meal in like five minutes.  The thing that's discouraged grandmothers and moms all this time.

I finished the sewing of the second slipper last evening, so now they're both awaiting a felting adventure:


 I'm onto making some other things as well as the hat in lieu of October Gift.  I thought that November Gift would be posted this week, but so far there's nothing new out there.

In other news - Oogyhubby and I are looking forward to cooking our butts off tomorrow, starting very early in the morning.  I'll be attempting a fancy pecan/pumpkin pie recommended by JW.  He's quite the chef and baker, so I've already set the bar pretty low for myself, LOL.  I'll post a pic if it turns out OK.

Here's to a peaceful and healthy T-giving!  If you haven't already done so, I encourage you to take a few minutes to make a list of the ten things you're grateful for from this past year.  It's been a rough year for many, but hopefully you can find a few rays of hope and sunshine in there somewhere :)

Colorful Booties and Socks

It is the Year of Colorwork, but mostly what I've done so far is produce a few color ful items!  I've been making this baby bootie pattern for years, mostly from leftover sock yarns.  This particular yarn is what remained from last fall's Flamewalker Socks .  That these booties stand up all by their jaunty selves makes them particularly appealing. These are  Crazy For You socks.  They haven't told me yet exactly whom they are crazy for , but I'll let them ponder that for a while.  It appears I may have caught a bit of Knitting New England's Tangerine Tango  with all of these orangey colors!

Wingspan, Part I

Image
I have two skeins of Classic Elite Alpaca Sox yarn that absolutely refuse to become socks. They pool, they gap, they otherwise cry and carry on in all sorts of ways. So, they are becoming Wingspans instead. I finished the first one last night, and cast on the second one this morning. They are, indeed, a pleasurable and addictive knit!

I've been busy, but I don't have much to show for it - yet. You will be seeing a lot of finished lace in the coming days, so stay tuned! In the meantime, here are two pillows that I dyed and knit for friends who are getting married next week.
