finished first 5 sections of babette, feeling focused and happy. cleo is a charmer.

having made a commitment to grannysquares in fine yarn, the process has become a happy one. cash iroha - 40%silk-30%lambswool-20%cashmere-10%nylon. the nylon keeps making me think it would make sturdy socks. 120 ravelry babette projects. i'm also 1 of 254making koolhass hat.

can't get comfortable using the nicest yarn to make granny squares, something that can knit up into softest fabric and does not feel soft in crochet. there is an appeal to the granny squares that i think is about old fashioned peacefulness.

a bit unsettled about everything knit-wise. this happened to me during the summer as well. we brought in a tree from the meadow yesterday. lighted tree is one thing i like about christmas.

swatch looks great, pattern in return to seattle pile. glove frogged. knit catnip mouse for Cleo, missed photo op of her carrying it by the tail. re-attached rose to house, wind must have set it free. feeling some sense of being home. we are tucked in now for the thanksgiving holiday to pass. have token turkey and pumpkin pie on hand.
