Had a great thanksgiving celebration with friends and family. Worked on my stripy sock and need to sew off the toe and one half of a pair will be done. On to another cast on. The pirate has been put on hold for a few days. I did get some hair spray, $1.99 the cheapest I could find, to stiffen up his hat. I'll work on him later this week.
Our library received the book "Knitted icons" and it is really cool. You knit a basic people doll and then dress it to took like your favorite icon. I knitted the pieces but all they look like are tiny beigey knitted rectangles. Some assembly required in this piece too. They have a cute "Gojira/Godzilla" to knit and I found some green yarn in my attic stash that will be perfect for a city crushing knitted pal.
On my way home from Thanksgiving this morning I stopped in a local yarn store and got 3 skeins of sock yarn. I love knitting with Opal yarn. The color waves are so interesting. The one on the left is really rainbow colors and will knit up into larger bands of color. The middle one will be more animal patterned. The jitterbug yarn on the right is lovely to knit with. I love it's feel and softness.
