All the updates and pictures I promised

Tons of stuff to post this time. I'm finished with my planned holiday gifts. Well, some still need to be washed and blocked, but the knitting is done!

Here's Lori's Shrug:

Here's Dale's hat, I had to dye the orange and I screwed up which blue to use, but it's a fun hat nonetheless.

Yarn:

This purple yarn is knitpicks gloss in cosmos, which I used for Mom's Shawl:

Nathan's Cardigan is coming along nicely. It's not finished, but I preemptively decided it wouldn't be done before Christmas, so hopefully it can be snuck in.

I also decided I would throw in some mug cozies for the kids' teachers, mugs still have to be purchased!

And I also made my first handspun!

Made myself a Bucket Hat which is the most fabulous thing ever! I wear it all the time and I've never itched once. I'm completely in love with malabrigio. Must buy more when I can!

I also made my first Thanksgiving meal last week. After 9 years of marriage I finally made a damn turkey.

And I started the shawl for Lori for her wedding gift. I have been busy. Keeps my brain busy so I don't have to think about all the other stressful things. Everyone's brain needs a break sometimes.

I was checking your group Newer Knitters on ravelry. What a great idea! I have a few people I teach to knit and I will tell them to join this group.
You have a great blog and thought you might be interested in a group I recently started Lessern Known Skeins. I will send you an invite.
