just keep knitting-knitting-knitting...

Finding time to snuggle in, listening to “Good Omens” by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, brilliantly narrated on this Audible version by Martin Jarvis. Angels and demons palling around – laugh out loud funny. Working on finishing up the Lidiya scarf from Rowan’s Fall issue. Love the felted tweed – the colors, the soft squishy texture. Have to say I’m usually a purist when it comes to color work preferring a yarn like Spindrift. The Felted Tweed is a little heavier - so different gauge than what I’m most comfortable with and I’m finding it doesn’t meld together like Shetland wool does, but I’m still loving the look. This pattern also calls for three colors in one row of each pattern repeat which I’m finding slows me down a bit, but worth the extra effort for that little pop of color in the center of each flower. Mittens are calling so really want to finish this up...
Happy Thanksgiving All!

Love the colors! It just looks happy! :-) (Also, love Neil Gaiman. I've got that one on my "reading queue.") Happy Thanksgiving.
