Thanksgiving Eve

The kids are out of school today so we are having a relaxing day at home and keeping busy with lots of WIP's:

Making a magical winter wonderland out of legos.

Working on some wall art.

Starting on the gift knitting (Turn a Square hat).

And one FO:

Ginormous chocolate chip cookies using this recipe.

To those in the U.S., have a very happy Thanksgiving! May your day be filled with lots of tasty food and wonderful company. Check out WIP Wednesday with TAMI'S AMIS for the latest in cool knitting and crochet ideas.

History Repeating Itself

 knitting ninjas!

While hanging out with my two nieces and their friend, we became involved in a heated discussion about music. They are currently into a band called the Black Veil Brides. I told them that speed guitars and shrieking was not my cup of tea. To which they responded that I was a nerdy knitter with uncool taste in music. Being a nerdy knitter is a badge of honor in my book, but having uncool taste in music?!! That went straight through the heart! Just as I was getting ready to respond to their insult, the constant stream of corny Vietnamese love ballads that my parents used to play during every childhood road trip popped into my mind. I kept my mouth shut.
