Forgot to post this Thistle Thorn Hood knitting progress (pattern is by Lavanya Patricella). - I’m a bit further along now on the attached scarf section.

Last of my holiday gift knitting is DONE and blocking! (Fingerless mitts knit in the round are pretty quick to whip up when you are stumped on a gift for someone.)

One mitt knitted, one to go. (Pattern is Skating Rink Hand Warmers.)

My current spirit animal.

Bound off and blocked! - I had forgotten how quickly crocheting could go—and how forgiving. After realizing I needed to start the hanging straps in the last round, I zippy-quick undid my stitches and redid the round. Easy peasy.

Set down my knitting needles and picked up a crochet hook this week (I learned how to crochet from my grandmother as a kid before learning how to knit). - An idea for a hat. Stay tuned.

I had an idea to use up leftover yarn from a 7-mini-skein kit (that was for a cowl) . . . Seed Stitch Mitts!

Rainbow knitting feels like self-care this week. 🌈🩷

The New York City yarn crawl weekend was this past weekend (Sept. 26-28), and I snagged a kit of 7 mini skeins from Yarn Over New York at Knitty City . . . and cast-on asap for a bright rainbow-ish palate cleanser of a cowl.
