![Confession Time with Katie:
Playing Mario Kart has made me a worse driver. As I drove to lunch with a friend, I wished for a flashing star so I could be invincible and drive through everything.
Also, we're eating bagels for lunch because throwing rules out windows is my new favorite hobby.
Speaking of hobbies, I started a Constellate Hat in the colorway, African Violets by LolaBean Yarn. The first Constellate took me nineteen months so surely i can beat that!
LOL. @marz1pan thought I was knitting a sock for someone with HUGE calves!
In writing news, I plan to send a short story before mid-December so join my Inner Circle Email List if you need a dopamine hit right about now.
I hope you have the Monday you need, Crew! I love you!!!!

The Husband and I celebrated twelve years of wedded bliss in August. He bought me yarn. That is to say that I used the Pay Pal account to buy myself some delicious Plucky Knitter yarn during a couple of her sales and mentioned it in passing to The Husband. I could not believe how fast their stuff sells out!…until it arrived in the mail and then understanding dawned. Gorgeous!
From left, may I introduce: Elegant Elephant, Flying Atlas, Oz, and Barn Door Primo Fingering along with Peep Toes Primo Sport ( Primo = merino, cashmere, nylon). Silk and linen are the traditional materials for 12 years. Close enough!
The Husband has a hard time keeping up with which yarn and pattern shops I purchase from, so I get questions like “Who is Violently Dom?”. That’s what Hunter Hammersen’s patterns and books show up as and it stumps him every time. This time, the question was, “Who is Plucky Knitter and why do they have all my money?” I just grinned and said, “That’s the yarn you bought me for our anniversary.” Ain’t love grand?!
Ps. Plucky Knitter has lovely customer service too; the first package arrived with a note letting me know that the Peep Toes would be following shortly.

Love it! I have an anniversary next week and my hubby has bought me some lovely Batts for spinning from Etsy. Isn’t it great that they ‘know’ exactly what we want! *wink*
Congrats on your spinning progress. I already have one or two or twelve hobbies, so I’ve made myself not spin…….yet. : )
Congrats on your anniversary and yarniversary. Plucky yarn? That is what everyone deserves after 12 years of marriage..or even 6!! wait, I’m going to tell my husband
Six is iron or sugar. Plucky Knitter yarn is sweet, so there you go. OR there seems to be Araucania Ruca Solid – a 100% Sugar Cane viscose – I’d never heard of this before…very interesting! Congrats on your upcoming anniversary. : )
Oh my that yarn is beautiful! What a thoughtful gift ;-)
Happy anniversary!
thanks! :)
What a great way to celebrate! Beautiful choices.
Thanks so much for your kind comments on my blog :)
thanks!
my pleasure.I am going to try some hand-quilting today and thought of you…I only hope my stitches look half as perfect as your embroidery.
