Sharing plans for Thanksgiving

Everyone is making plans for Thanksgiving next week. Some of the ladies are cooking and some are guests and some are doing both! Some will stay home and some will celebrate while on vacation. Nancy said she is not known for her cooking prowess but her SIL loves her carrot cake so she's making it for him. I'm waiting to hear what my kids are doing before I put my plans on the calendar.

We had some FOs this week. That hat that Barbara K was knitting for the last few weeks is ready for the inventory, the 2x2 ribbed hat.

Barbara B finished the Flight Formation Beanie, a pattern from our favorite hat designer, Benjamin Matthews. His patterns are so well written and easy to knit.

I finished the I-cords on the Kitty Toy Hat which was a modification of a pattern for a toy hat. The headband on the right is something I just played with until I liked what I got. The pattern is written on my Ravelry page.

 I had leftover yarn that was too much to just toss but was just enough for a baby headband.

I knitted almost nonstop for five days to complete my Grid Gambit Cowl and loved every minute of it. This was so easy to knit and easy to memorize and for me to say that is high praise! I like it so much I set aside two lovely colors to start another one someday soon.

 This is Tina's Grid Gambit for which she is using the yarns she trusted me to buy for her at the last yarn festival I attended. We all swooned over the colors and how beautiful it looks!

Barbara B and Jan are knitting the same Simple Sideways Triangle Scarf. Barb's is knitted in DK weight yarn with a size 6 needle and Jan's is fingering weight with a size 4 needle so they will be slightly different in dimensions. Ravelry still lists the pattern in the files but it is unavailable unless you printed it out or saved it digitally.

Barbara is using Whole Knit n' Caboodle sport weight yarn for hers...

in a pretty autumn fiery variegated yarn.

and Jan's is a souvenir yarn she picked up in Canada I think she said. 

It reminds me of roasted autumn root vegetables! Pretty!!!

I had some left over Plymouth Encore yarn and decided to make a jogless single stripe hat using 

Grace O'Neill's technique.

Dorah is still working on her corner to corner baby blanket. Great colors!

Carole's 1-2-3 Baby beanie is for her newest grandson. The pattern has two versions available so she's making the first option.

Maureen's baby cardigan is getting the lower ribbing and then she'll pick up the stitches to knit the sleeves.

I don't know how Margaret does it but she's following a charted design and talking at the same time! I have projects that are strictly "alone knitting" and this would fall under that category!

Nancy is knitting a 1-2-3 Baby Beanie too.

I could have sworn Barbara K said she found this pattern on Ravelry but I'm not finding results. Anyway, she said she'll turn this into a scarf since she doesn't tend to wear cowls. 

Edited: Barbara B found the link to the pattern on Ravelry. Thanks Barb!!!

Her yarn choice is lovely!

She has good taste in colors as you can see by the pretty scarf she wore today. 

It's the Country Rows Shawlette which I designed in 2009.

Barbara B's treat today was a sourdough hand pie. We had our choice of filling, fig or blueberry. 

Mmm, mmm, good!

We haven't decided if we're meeting next week since it's so close to Thanksgiving. So if I don't get to say it then, here's wishing you a blessed Thanksgiving and keep those needles clicking!
