Festive knitting

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I finished the latest Esther Williams yesterday.

It takes me about 5 hours start to finish, provided I timed it right. I had to get up and down a lot, so I might have miscounted at some point.

This morning, I started a masculine Hayden.

Who’s it for? Not telling.

It’s really nice to have my patterns written out. I must say that’s the main reason I do it. So I can have them to knit again. I haven’t made a Hayden in about a year, and I honestly had to print up the directions and follow them to make it. I had completely forgotten how to do it.

Again, a very happy Thanksgiving, to those of you who celebrate it. I am so grateful for my life and my family. I was an extremely insecure child and was convinced, until I met Nate, that no one would ever want to marry me, and that I’d be alone my whole life.

I had no idea what was in store for me. I am grateful everyday.

    Happy Thanksgiving. I am tempted to start an Esther Williams but I suppose I’ll get down to Hayden first.
