#WIPWednesday is my first pair of contrast socks!
Yarn is Sea Turtle Fiber Arts in Wandering Brook, and the socks are for Brooke (me) to wander in. 😁
It's going to be so pretty! And warm - only my second pair of DK socks.

My #cakedecorating journey continues: wreaths, "cables," and fondant! 🎂
I love the top. Less so the sides. But I am learning, and the mistakes are still delicious.

Sorry to drop the C-bomb, but are you looking for the perfect Christmas gift for the dinosaur fan who has everything? How about a commission gift certificate? Stock of these is VERY limited, so if you want one, you know what to do! 🙂

I also am late for #crochetaway PINK week!
This Ophthalmosaurus #ichthyosaurus was a test crochet for designer Jenn Starbird. I had this magenta yarn in my stash - Patons Classic Wool? - and I actually love how it turned out.

Cutting it close this week, but here are my #cables for #showmeyourknits. So. Many. Cables.
Shawl is Equivocation from Curls 2 book by Hunter Hammersen. Yarn is a glorious local hand dye that I've lost the label from.
Model is the always beautiful @grace-is-reading.bsky.social.

This sounds like an excellent reason to visit the ROM again, though probably after the hype of the holidays.
Expanded by 3,500 square feet, the gallery will reopen to the public on December 5 and feature new interactives and displays – including the permanent return of Zuul, one of the best-preserved dinosaurs ever found.
