Craft companions

The quilt has recovered from it's batting surgery and is now fully back on the frame. I found the quilting thread, the 12 sharps that I love to quilt with (short and sharp), my thread holder to wear around my neck, favorite thimble, box of finger cots (little thin rubber covers for your finger that grips the needle, sharp scissors and masking tape. All the tools to get the job done, along with the tv remote control. I tuned up my thread and got right back into quilting. There is a lot to do but an hour or two every nite will get me done. I'm extremely hopeful at the moment but it's still November.

My craft companions were extremely perplexed at the rearranging of furniture and favorite perching spots (my lap and back of chair). Magpie kept coming and looking at the quilt frame, trying to peek over it and putting her paws up to see if there is a space for her. She's not quite ready to settle into a spot as yet. I cover it up when I'm not using it and also tilt the top up so that it doesn't encourage napping during the day time.

The first twisted rib sock is completed and the second cast on. I still need a carry along project for work so socks it is. My local yarn shop had the missing yarn I was needing and I'll have just a Little bit left over at the end of the pair. They are quite the pattern and I'll ask my son to do a test fit for me just to make sure they'll be a good wearing sock. The foot is done totally in stocking stitch instead of my usual ribbed top.

The Indian pudding is in the fridge ready for dessert tomorrow. I couldn't resist and had a little tasting bowl tonite, hot from the oven. Yummy. The Rose clan's recipe holds up to the ages. I think I just need a little bit bigger dish to bake it in or else next time use two dishes. Happy Turkey day tomorrow to one and all.
