#ShowMeYourKnits is Whites & Brights this week. This is the Hudson Ripple Scarf. 🧶is my mom’s handspun Romney. I’m a little farther along - had to stop working on it for a few days. Cold weather and heat running so my hands had little splits - not conducive to working with white yarn.

Woke to a lot of snow. Bands of lake-effect snow all day in the secondary snow belt. Never got to my mom’s to take in her paper. Her drive was just plowed so at least I won’t get stuck tomorrow when I go to take in her mail. Cookie baking and my first 12 Dogs of Christmas Ale of the season.

Finished my Beeswax Hat (designer is @baroquepurls.bsky.social). 🧶 is Mal Rios in Frank Ochre colorway. Not a fan of yellows and oranges but this muted yellow/gold is perfect for the pattern. Well-written pattern. Fun to knit!

Bought wreaths to take to the national cemetery today. Started my car and every system-failure warning flashed on the instrument panel.
34°F/1°C - perfect weather to wait for a tow truck.
Aren’t holidays hard enough?
I’ll wait to hear what electrical system component decided to give up.

#ShowMeYourKnits is holiday colored or themed knits. I knit Joji’s One Love Shawl with West Yorkshire Spinners ’Mulled Wine’ 🧶 - appropriate colors and also a little sparkle!

Couldn’t resist this 🧶 set from @makerwool.bsky.social
Unsure what I’ll knit with it but love the colors.

Predicted and started as I drove my mom home from delayed Thanksgiving. A little heavier as I drove home.
When we arrived - great niece (9yo), playing with her brothers in the driveway. First question - did I bring Caesar salad? Her favorite thing - for 5-6 years. It’s all she ate. Warms my ♥️.

The Cavaliers players are dressed up like Georgia peaches. I didn’t like the deep red floor treatment and this City Edition floor makes it easier to watch the game. I’ve heard the Metropark-Cavaliers collaboration as the basis for the color. But it’s a miss for me and I’m a ‘nope’ all the way.

This is a Ziggy Shawl (designed by Joji / Jojilocat) I made a few years ago. 🧶 is DyeForYarn tussah fingering. Thinking about using the silk mohair yarn I posted earlier to make another one.

So it’s actually #ShowMeYourKnits - 🙃 - apologies to followers for the repost
The theme is FLOOF for #ShowMeYouKnits this week. I used DyeForYarn MoFluff Silk Mohair in Last Dance colorway to make Nevasca Shawl last year. I gave it to my niece - she needed a shawl for my sister’s/her mom’s funeral a year ago. Ordered more yarn and thinking I might make a Ziggy Shawl.

I haven’t been in Target in some time but credit where due - there was an area-wide power outage in Wadsworth, OH. The Target store contacted Feeding Medina County and they were able to save a lot of frozen food before it thawed and would have been thrown out.

Feeding Medina County receives 10,000 pounds of food from Target
Feeding Medina County recently received one of, if not the largest, single-time food donations from the Wadsworth Target following Monday's power outage.

Failed #socktober but did finally finish the gusset on my Cosine Wave Socks (designer @verybusymonkey.bsky.social). Good to have work projects but it sure takes up knitting time. Love the socks - love her patterns.

Last week, a guy in front of me at Walmart didn’t have enough money to pay for what he was buying. I offered to pay the difference - it was less than $5. I was buying bias binding for my mom - unusual for me to shop there.

Down to the last few rows of this Musselburgh hat (by @ysoldaknits.bsky.social) in The Life of a Showgirl colorway. First one I made was for my niece (trauma surgeon) and this one is for my niece, her sister (architect). They continue a family tradition of strong, smart, and capable women.

Beautiful fall colors driving to my mom’s this morning to pick up her laundry! (Fun fact for sports fans - this is where Myles crashed his car a few years ago.)
