Cute puppy dog. You can tell she’s going to be a big girl… she’s gotta grow into those paws!

Proving once again that great minds think alike …
Shur’tugal, LL Red Rover, almost through the first pattern repeat. Obviously, dragons come in various colors.

Oh, Lucy is such a doll. She looks adorable (my scruffmeister is cute but not in the same way at all)!

I am working on my third pair of stripey scrappy socks. So much fun. I think this is my last scrappy socks for a bit. I have some yummy sock yarn that is calling me.

I love the Target Lady – have you seen the new commercial? My favorite is still the one where she has the icing bag. Cracks me up. Lucy got big and cuter. Love Loopy in the holiday hat!! I had started my first magic loop pair of socks, then remembered I should be knitting something for a gift. Then I got sidetracked, then I looked at the calendar and thought I should be knitting a quick knit for someone BEFORE I finish knitting the other gift (I make the Target Lady look good at this point)
Would LOVE to see more Malabrigo Rios come in for quick gift knit projects. I forget if it was here or someplace else that I saw a pattern for a man’s cowl neckwarmer but I started one this morning before work and it is faster than a quick knit. Only 32 rows over 72 stitches with worsted wt. yarn and 10 1/2 circular needles.

I hope every Loopy elf had a great Thanksgiving. That little puppy will not be little for long but she is soooo, soooo cute!

The lady on the Target commercial scared me too! In a Hu-Lair-Ee-Ous way!. Matter of fact I decided to stay home to knit and eat… and… eat and knit some more on Friday just to avoid people like her!

I however, did go shopping on line and left the elves something to do when they get back to work! HeeHeeHee

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Both my kids were around so it felt really special.

The stores were not too bad Friday. It was fun to leisurely browse the stores amidst the crowds.
I got a Nook Color for my birthday and we all went out to eat Dim Sum on Olive.

Hugs to you for a great and enjoyable blog.

Lucy is so adorable!

Shur’tugal is a really fun knit. Just sayin’

I finished a 22 Leaves Shawlette Tuesday (well, took it off the blocking mat Wednesday), finished a Koolhaas hat today, and worked a bit on a Aestlight today. And a sock by a friend of mine, Twist of Citrus sock.

I know Alice/Socktopus, the designer of Shur’tagal; I’m looking forward to knitting it sometime too! I noticed you said ‘cast on A Shur’tagal’ rather than ‘cast on for a PAIR of Shur’tagals’ — Freudian slip there?

(so says the SSS sufferer…)
