Post Thanksgiving Post

I had plans to show you our entire Thanksgiving menu, but that moment has passed, so I'll just show you what  I think might be a teeny bit interesting from those pictures.  These are sour cabbage leaves, which with a bit of sleight of hand, and a lot of onions and a big pot of deliciously seasoned rice...............

 becomes a roaster full of lovely cabbage rolls.  No matter how many I make, there are never any left over.

 These are the meatballs which will be baked and then glazed with the best Cranberry-tomato sauce--once again, no matter how many I make there are never any left (actually, I stole 14 meatballs for Kubota Man and me to have another meal).  Now if some of my faithful readers would leave me comments to that effect, I  might share the recipe.

I finally finished the Aran Sweater.  This sweater was chosen by Richard.  He borrowed the book from the library, then modified the neck to a V-neck, and I executed his directions.  If you are a Ravelry member, you can read the details Here.

Now I should be working on my Christmas knitting, since I asked my kids and granddaughters what I should knit this year by way of accessories.  But first I wanted to make some headway on DD2's Black Cabled Hoodie.  I'm hoping to finish it next week:  back and one front is done, am making great progress on the hood and one sleeve is started.

I also started this cardigan called "Seaweed Cardigan", which I shouldn't have because I'll be putting myself into a bind with the Christmas knitting.  So now it's officially hibernating for a while.

I did finish this Illusion Knit Scarf for DGD3.  Interesting knitting.  When you look at the scarf head-on it looks just like black and green striped scarf.  But at an angle, a picture appears.

My Christmas knitting list:
DD1--anything I want to make as long as it's rich, jewel colorsFinished jeweled cowl,
DD2--Black mitts
DD3--Black Gray mitts and hat (which I will line with a layer knit in sock yarn for warmth while she waits for the bus)  Hat finished Oct. 22 Mittens finished Oct 25.
        --add jewelled cowl to her list.
Kubota Man Jr--Cabled hat
DGD1--scarf and hat she designed herself and gave me sketches
DGD2--mitts in peacock blue and white, scarf in peacock blue and white
DGD4--socks in pastel colors, have added a slouchy tam to her list--she picked colors and style. Socks and Hat both done.

Kubota Man has to be patient again for his sweater.

I have about another month to wait for the results of the Master Knitter Program Level 1.

This is a peek at my cold storage room.  If you want to know more about that space, you'll have to visit my Garden Blog.

Till next time--I'll try not to keep you waiting so long.
