Thanksgiving Meal

I know I’m sharing this a bit late, but we had our Canadian Thanksgiving Day a few weeks back, and this was the meal I prepared – along with miniature pumpkin pies. It was incredible. I decided to go with ham instead of a turkey, fresh cranberry sauce (there is no other way), stuffing, mashed yams & carrots, mashed potato, gravy, and buns.

I’m thankful for so very much.

Transmog

I can’t get over how absolutely adorable vulpera look in this transmog set. It’s for purchasing a 6 month subscription to World of Warcraft.

You can set up a subscription and pay the first time with a credit card – and then pay future amounts with tokens/gold which is what I do. It will extend your current game time and not charge you again until that game time runs out, so you just need to make sure you top up your account every now and again with game time.

More Socks

I knit another pair of socks on my circular sock knitting machine, but I’m still trying to get the hang of how to knit them (including the toe) and have them be the right size. These ones ended up too long in the toe, so I frogged them back and knit the toes by hand instead. Yarn is knitpicks hawthorne. Even with hand knitting the toe, these socks take no time at all to knit up and they turn out lovely. I’m hoping to get a few more pairs done for Christmas gifts.

Car Knitting

I started a sockhead cowl as a simple ‘in the car’ knit for all of the times we have a 6+ hour drive to do groceries (we try to go once every few months) and any other car drives we might have (even going to the next town over is an hour each way). I’m using a single ply yarn from knitpicks, hopefully it comes out nice and comfortable. I am not sure I’ll get it done this winter (it’s a lot of garter stitch), but I’d also like to knit two dickies for the kids (they are too young for scarves) to keep them warm when we play outside here in the North.
