Most of the leaves have fallen off and the yard needs one more good cleaning before the snow flies. But until that time, the leaves have made a nice backdrop for my most recent project.
Yarn: Trekking XXL
Needles - size 0 circulars
Pattern: Little Child's Socks from Nancy Bush's Knitting Vintage Socks
I really love the color of the yarn and these might be the best socks I have made yet. The gauge and tension is really nice on the size 0's. The pattern is (so far) easily adapted from dpns to circulars. I don't read the entire pattern frequently enough. I usually just jump in and figure that I can figure it out on the way. I haven't had enough bad experiences with that method to change my approach.
Thanksgiving is just a few days away and I am looking forward to one entire glorious week away from work. The husband and I have Wednesday all to ourselves at home. Thursday will be with my family for all the traditional fixins. My mom makes an amazing Thanksgiving spread and we always have the same menu- or we all have a collective meltdown if we don't see our favorite dishes being served. (The cranberry/walnut salad had better be there!)
Then off to my husband's family for five days. I hope the weather's gorgeous and safe. We will be driving to the lovely Kettle Moraine area of Wisconsin. I imagine we will eat good food, drink good beer, maybe play some games, get in a few good brisk walks (or maybe even a hike), I will supervise the kitchener stitch on Sue's (my mother-in-law) socks, and maybe finish the above socks. Have good Thanksgivings!
