Where’s Santa Now?
For the curious, you can track Santa either on NORAD’s Santa Tracker here or on Google’s Santa tracker here. They are both wacky yet informative fun 🙂 Happy Christmas Eve!

There’s An App for That
I recently found out about a very cool knitting app published by Nihon Vogue. It has a stitch symbol dictionary which also has videos on how to do the stitch, and also has some patterns built in, along with knitting Q&A. As usual, please excuse the terrible indoor nighttime photos. Search in either the App… Continue reading There’s An App for That
Cookiemageddon
Today was cookie baking day at our house. We don’t ordinarily bother with cookies, or if we do it’s just a batch or two. Mom is a Christmas elf though, so this year cookies were happening! The fridge looked like this this morning – packed with doughs mixed earlier this week and ready to bake,… Continue reading Cookiemageddon
Homework
I’m taking a few classes at this weekend’s Vogue Knitting Live, and I had a little homework for one of them. The class is on mattress stitching, and asks you to do swatches ahead of time. 2 or 4 like the square one, and one of the triangle. The square swatches have me a bit… Continue reading Homework

And I spent the rest of the day knitting and watching Marvel movies 🙂 How was your Black Friday? Did you do any shopping?… Continue reading And Welcome to the Christmas Season
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a virtual get together with my DH’s family, and had our usual homemade pizza for dinner 🙂 Very thankful to have my Mom here with us, and other family member safe at their homes as well.
Monday Notebooks
No socks to report on today, so I thought I’d throw in on Monday Notebooks, which nanacathy posts about somewhat regularly, and Kath at Backstage Knits recently posted about as well. Like many other people’s, my notebook/note taking routines got thrown into turmoil earlier this year, and I’ve just now gotten a new routine more… Continue reading Monday Notebooks
2nd-String Crafting Holidays
So I know many people (me included) craft things for Halloween, and I know even more people craft things for Christmas. Is anyone crafting anything for Thanksgiving? Other than food, I mean. Some holidays have all the crafty glory – yarn colorways and patterns, special knit kits, holiday appropriate quilting fabric and patterns… Is there… Continue reading 2nd-String Crafting Holidays
