First, the last thing I finished -- it just came off the needles. It's the Forest Tam by Marie Wallin.
I used Marie Wallin's new yarn called British Breeds. The colors are so wonderful! Sadly, the picture doesn't convey how perfect the colors are. This pattern came in the British Breeds box of yarn -- a skein of each color, plus the pattern booklet. I hope to make the cowl from the booklet as well.
Next is the Kukka Cowl from the latest issue (17) of Amirisu magazine.
I used the called for Ram Jam yarn from Daughter of a Shepherd. I only needed one skein of each color, not two as the pattern says.
I also finished the Little Burr hat by Sarah Solomon.
I used the lovely Myak Baby Yak Medium for the hat -- such a treat!
And yes, I did finish my Jaycee cardigan by Isabell Kraemer.
I even found some buttons for it -- took a while for them to arrive. Now I need to sew them on. Problem is I keep wearing the cardigan -- hard to sew on buttons while I'm wearing it!
Lots of things happened since I last posted. I had a wonderful time in the city when Loop London had its pop up event at the Here Now Space run by Myak. I was so happy to meet up with Tanya, Lucy and Nancy, who came all the way up from Virginia for the weekend, and the event. (Tanya is bzmama, Lucy is lucysyarnpocket, and Nancy is nancydaniels92 on instagram.) We met up at Katz's Deli for lunch.
We visited Purl Soho afterwards and then went to the lovely pop up shop. Such fun! Thanks, ladies, for a fun day!
Then of course there was Thanksgiving. Got to have my kid-lings home for a few days. Yay!
It went by way too quickly, but it was so good to hug my babies.
Of course, we see DD much more often than DS since she lives in the city. This past Thursday, I got to go to see Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald with her in the city (#protectthesecrets). After, we met up with the father type and had dinner at the Grey Dog, and dessert at Max Brenners. OMG. Chocolate. (I had fish tacos at the Grey Dog. Yum!)
I need more chocolate. lol! I neglected to take a picture of DD. Silly me!
Mia, needless to say, hasn't been appreciative of extra people in the house, of me disappearing for the day, or of the disruption of her schedule. She also doesn't appreciate the cold. But she survives.
Happy Advent! Happy holidays!
