Specs:
Started 11/10/08
Finished 11/27/208
Pattern: Siamese Kitty by Barbara Prime
Yarn: Bernat Alpaca Natural Blends
Needles: 6US

If I make another toy in this yarn, I'm going down a needle size—there are a lot of gaps in the stitches once the toy is stuffed. It's still very cute, though!

Our Thanksgiving dinner turned out very well—the turkey was perfect and everything tasted good. It was great to spend time with family. The only bummer of the whole day was that our land line was out all day...we didn't know it was out until mid-day, so people who tried to call us couldn't get through. Thank goodness for cell phones!

By the time everyone left, we were exhausted. Sewing the Kitty together was a perfect thing to work on when I crashed in my chair.

I finally got a chance to take pictures of my last Rockin' Sock Club installment. It's very pretty and Autumn-y. Click the spoiler alert picture to see what it looks like.



I'm going to take it easy today.I have a little bit of a food hangover...I'm not used to eating bread and potatoes any more, so I feel out of sorts. I'll do a little spinning, but mostly just rest and enjoy a quiet day.
