![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!!!!

Some Plucky Knitter yarn came in the mail just in time to convince me that I didn’t REALLY need anything this month when she did updates. It was a near thing, I can tell you. But, to stave off my yarn spending (for now), let us reflect on these new puppies.
I’m going to make these Scoundrel socks with this lovely blue. The pattern, by Hunter Hammersen, will be out this fall.
I don’t know what this Wintry Mix Primo Fingering will grow up to be, but I sure do like the cut of its jib. The funny thing is that when these beauties came in the mail, I was a little disappointed. The colors looked a little flat, you see. Then, I took them out of the plastic packaging and ohhhhhh. False alarm. They are gorgeous.
Speaking of Plucky Knitter, I’ve just started knitting Linaria Bipartita Socks – pattern by Hunter Hammersen (try to act surprised) in Plucky Knitter’s Primo Fingering – colorway Elegant Elephant on my super pointy Sig. Arts needles. Ain’t life grand?!?
Ps. To see what other folks are working on, go check out Tami’s Amis and Small Things Yarn Along (I just finished reading Vampire Academy on my Nook – it was a bit slow for me. I have yet to decide if I’ll read the next one to see what happens or just Google a summary and call it good.).

Plucky Knitter can do no wrong. Everything she does is fall down and die beautiful!
You’re not just whistling Dixie. I think she has magical dye pots!
Ooo! I’ve never knit with Plucky Knitter yarns before, and I’ve always wanted to. I can’t wait to hear more about it.
It was a hair splitty at first with my super sharp needles, but now I’ve got the hang of it and I LOVE the way it is knitting up and it feels divine!
I’ve never used Plucky Knitter yarn but boy it looks gorgeous! I will have to put it on my wish list:)
The hardest part about Plucky yarn is trying to pick a color or two!
I haven’t tried Plucky Knitter either, but have seen some beautiful projects made with it. Will have to go check out their site.
Her stuff is a wee bit hard to get, but SOO worth it!
I love that gray, a lovely tone.
Thank you so much. I’m really pleased with how it is knitting up!
Mmm, I like everything about this post. Beautiful yarn, great needles, yay!
Yay!
