Gearing up for Turkey Day

Sandy here.  I am pretty stoked that Thanksgiving is right around the corner.  For me that means a lot of vacation time which translates into crafting.  I tend to have TONS of projects going at one time which turns into a love hate relationship.  On the up side I just finished making the Trilobite knit hat for one of my fellow Geologist.  Last weekend we went on a brief camping trip and the weather was dipping into the chilly degrees for us Floridians (in the 50's!!).  I made the hat out of the durable Patons Classic Wool in Dark Gray.  I can say it was a big hit.  During our camping trip I taught her how to knit and we visited a few fabric stores to look at the quilting sections.

After many attempts to make socks with my stashed yarns from lime & violet in the Smoke and Scent colorway I frogged it for the bigillionth time.  On the way back from Georgia I casted on the Oaklet Shawl with the Smoke and Scent.  I am about halfway done with the body of the shawl and they yarn is not refusing the pattern.  I can't wait to see the finished product!  I do not have a photo my progress but I have the next best thing.  One of my cats curled up asleep with my yarn while I am knitting!
