Thanksgiving weekend finish

My Vika pullover is finished!  Yay me!

I'm very happy with it.  I used Brooklyn Tweed Shelter in the meteorite color.  Here I am attempting a selfie.  Eww.

It seems to have been a while since I last posted.  Thanksgiving crept up on me, but that's what weekend it is here in the US.

I'll just post pictures of our celebrations so far and let the pictures speak for themselves.

OK, that last one I have to say something.  The three of us just happened to all be wearing black mocknecks or turtlenecks.  So we had to take a pic.  I can't decide if we're channeling the Beatles (aka With the Beatles record cover) or Andy Warhol.

Mia is not overjoyed about Thanksgiving.  She never likes a break from routine, which this is.  Poor thing.

I hope everyone who celebrates is enjoying Thanksgiving weekend.

Not that Vika.....

First, I have to show another picture of my Serena Shawl, hot off the blocking mats.

I do love this shawl!

Next, I will show you Vika -- the pullover, not the tennis player (yes, both Serena and Vika are tennis players, as well as a shawl and a pullover.  lol!).  I've finished the back of Vika and have started the front.

I love knitting cables, and these simpler cables are good practice for improving my cabling!  Vika is a Brooklyn Tweed pattern by Veronik Avery from the BT Fall 2016 collection.  I'm using the color of Brooklyn Tweed Shelter shown on the female model, Meteorite.  I love all the flecks of color in the yarn!

We've been having a fairly quiet fall, very pleasant.  Didn't go to Rhinebeck this year, sadly, but that's ok -- it was fun to see all the pictures on Instagram this weekend.  Btw, if you don't do Instagram, you should!  I love it!  I'm margaretsamplerlover there if you are interested.

Thanks for stopping by and saying hi.  Hope everyone has a lovely week.
