We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I did the cooking. We did Turkey pieces, and a Honey Baked Ham. we cooked the turkey in our new most fun kitchen device. The Ninja Foodi. It is awesome. 
I have been finishing some things in my knitting. Two things you haven't seen and one awesome thing that you have seen.

October Pink Along  Price Draw

Story of Week and Stash Enhancement The past 2 weeks have been business as usual. My knitting has been somewhat monogamous, which you will see in WIPs.
I did add to stash for a project I have been vicariously knitting for some time, stoking FOs on Ravelry, thinking about yarn choices and such. I have also been hearing a lot about Hobium yarns, so I went and browsed the website and picked my colors, and clicked buy on Saturday, and it came yesterday, from Turkey. I got a sweaters quantity for $16, and $10 for shipping. It is a really nice feeling yarn. I will let you know what I think when I start it. The Tecuseh sweater.
