This week I was busy with Thanksgiving and didn't get much knitting done but I'm making lots of Vlogmas plans for YouTube.  I have a new hat cast on and four new projects ready to go!

Advent Pattern Ideas Including Crochet

This week I finished two projects and canned a lot of applesauce.  I am starting to make knitting (and maybe crochet) plans for my advent minis. 

The hens are laying lots of eggs and I think the new cat is a Dr. Who fan.

The Luminary Socks are done!

The Last Time I Saw You

This week I have six finished objects! And I've pulled two projects from the Basket of Shame. I'm making plans for Vlogmas 2021 and I'm looking forward to all of them! We also have a new addition to the farm. 

I also spend a little time talking about the loss of a sweet knitting friend.

Listen here.

This corner of my craft room is getting a makeover for Vlogmas 2021.

Pepper Jam and The Curling Mist Shawl

 This episode, I have finished a pair of vanilla socks and I'm almost finished with the Curling Mist Shawl.  I have plans to cast on the second shawl from the current season of Helen Stewart's Shawl Society, the Silver River Shawl.

The container garden is doing well.  I'm harvesting 100+ peppers a week!  Also, pepper jam is not fool proof.

Take Two

This week, it took two tries to record the episode.  I finished a couple of projects and I can share the test knit I was working on last month.  We spent some time at the lake and I went kayaking for the first time.  We also had a rough week on the farm.

Also, I'm pretty sure I said "microphone" when I meant "microscope".

The Basket of Shame

This week, I have lots of finished projects because it's been so long- so very, very long- since I released an episode. I finished my Tea with Jam and Bread pullover, several pairs of socks, three baby hats and several shawls, one of them made from the "world's ugliest color". 

There's also farm news.  We have two Pyr puppies, Buster and Keaton.  They are 7 months old and almost 70 pounds each. 

Listen here.
