I'm staying home too. I am reading two books at once - not the best idea but it happens. I am still reading My Day by E. Roosevelt. If I get too sleepy I read The Garden Party, a new edition of a short story collection by Katherine Mansfield. I also have some poetry on my coffee table. Happy Thanksgiving.

I hope to spend lots of time doing both on Friday, and hope you get to do the same. I remember talking about The Golden Compass series with my oldest son when we read it together because there were a lot of things he didn't understand, so I also think it's fairly advanced for children. I've been trying to think of some sort of "manly" name to call Justin's cowl when I give it to him. I haven't come up with it yet, but maybe a glass of wine and some peaceful knitting on Thanksgiving Eve will help.Bonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608328439375705263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-45135149273197560012017-11-22T14:29:24.228-05:002017-11-22T14:29:24.228-05:00Still knitting the same garter stitch coat, but la...Still knitting the same garter stitch coat, but lately I have been very challenged to find time to knit. Just finished a Sharon Bolton book (Daisy in Chains) which was enjoyable, just started the Book of Dust. The Golden Compass series was one of my favorite series, and I actually thought it was pretty advanced, plot-wise, for children. I will be sure to let you know how I like it since you are interested. I hope to have reading/knitting time after Thanksgiving.<br />Your mitts and cowl are great yarn! I am a green girl much more than a blue girl. I like Vicki's idea of presenting it as a circular scarf so the ends don't get in his way. Men! Often the name of something derails it before you can get them to "just try it". becksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147945810663254093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-76561470323212393642017-11-22T12:28:27.084-05:002017-11-22T12:28:27.084-05:00Good choice for knitted gifts especially for a col...Good choice for knitted gifts especially for a cold climate! I confess to looking forward to blue hitchhiker photos, but mostly because I'm partial to blue. :) So glad you're knitting for yourself! margenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203284423648703855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-38733227051765536942017-11-22T10:20:53.888-05:002017-11-22T10:20:53.888-05:00Great projects and I do love that yarn bowl!Great projects and I do love that yarn bowl!Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09438414339444169303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-55515012697097210842017-11-22T10:17:23.297-05:002017-11-22T10:17:23.297-05:00I like the looks of both of those projects too!

Maybe it needs to be called something else... a "circular scarf," perhaps. ;) A knitted kitten is underway, as is make-ahead gravy!Vicki Knitorioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342431774644974327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-74922900552367368382017-11-22T09:22:36.974-05:002017-11-22T09:22:36.974-05:00So glad you've cast on for some new mitts!

Whenever I make cowls for the men in my life, I always have to convince them to "just try it." Men! I, too, have been considering re-reading the Golden Compass series . . . because it's been a very long time since I read it.Kymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01332895223302876006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-4157538945526963462017-11-22T08:56:42.431-05:002017-11-22T08:56:42.431-05:00I have only 4 rows before the cast off row on my n...I have only 4 rows before the cast off row on my niece's cowl...the end is in sight! Then I'm moving on to fingerless mitts, dishcloths, & hats. I'm reading and enjoying Jayber Crow by Wendell Berry. I'm on my way to my sister's this morning to help her prep the stuffing and other dishes for tomorrow, then back home to bake my pies this afternoon.
