Bits and Pieces

There was very little knitting this weekend.  It was full of getting ready for a big family BBQ get together.  Thanksgiving though it was, our family meal was usually hamburgers.  It is harvest season.  If not harvesting, it was hunting season.  It was so much fun, though we did have two members missing.  Isaac was working and Olga is working nights so she was sleeping.  But we had a great time with tons of little boys and big boys and some girl chat too.  

I did a bit of work on Cassie's sweater and a bit more on my Kauni cowl.  Photo evidence of any change in the sweater is non existent but the cowl is looking great.  

I have just started the final rib.  There are 6 rows of that so it won't be too long and it will be finished.  Most off the time, I wouldn't  block a cowl, but because this one is a sweater swatch, it will be properly washed and blocked so I can be sure of the gauge with the two needle sizes and the Kauni.  

Yesterday was a day of rest for me, followed by a deep long sleep and rising a wee bit late this morning.  Today will be catching up on laundry, tidying my room, putting the toy closet back in order.  It's the kind of day that has to happen.  In between in bits and pieces, there will be the restorative rest of knitting.
