That’s what I was going to say! Definitely some Christmas cookies there. They look good enough to eat! 😂

Very nice! Your very cute model wears it well!

My little blond lookalike (if your model were never groomed) needs a sweater. She’s currently recovering from a bad sports injury and has to ride in her royal carriage which means she could get cold. I guess I’d better get at it!

#WIPWednesday #socktober edition. Here are some much needed socks for my poor suffering husband 🙄 He’s lucky I like knitting socks so much. I’m just using up some leftovers 🧶

Thanks. I didn’t know the origin of the term “frog” in knitting 🧶

My daughter-in-law was THRILLED at her heel flap socks. She has an extremely high arch. Never had a comment like that before. I’ll be interested to see if this works out for you. I did HF for her because someone said it was the best for a high arch 🤷🏼‍♀️ (I never trust “this is the best…” for anything.)

Sorry about that. I knit them a year ago and was too lazy to look them up.

I don’t do spooky but I did make the toque and black cat mitts for my daughter’s Halloween-loving roommate 🧶

When yarn is wound it must be used. That’s your mistake. If it’s not wound you are less likely to find something to knit with it. If you do anyway, if you’re like me, you’ll be too lazy to wind it.

It’s beautiful! It would be hard to resist starting something with it.

If I weren’t refusing to cross the border I’d go down and join them.

Such insanity. WTF is happening? Does Trump believe it? I think so. I think his sycophants are feeding him old footage and footage from other places. It’s so evil.

Thanks for the reminder 😊 I was working on a toque a couple of weeks ago and… too late… I thought about this. It was OK because I’m comfortable with DPNs but it’s still a little annoying.

I love them. I’ll have to take a look for my octopus-loving friend.

Here are my favourite mitts.

I could never get it to work. Tried a few. Maybe because of the way I knit? I’m a lever knitter.

Love the yarn!

Thanks. They tested me a bit but they turned out well and my daughter loves them.

BTW the cat on the left looks a lot like mine in the face anyway.

Correlation isn’t causation. Wait 🤔 I think it is in this case. You’re good.

Definitely if my craft dream had come true. I have a room but it became a guest room with a queen bed and because it’s a child’s room there’s no room.

That looks like my cat! Very cute.
