![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!!!!

These mitts were a really nice break from the bad sock mojo I seemed to have this summer. I did go up .25 mm on the needle size after I got gauge and they are a skosh tight, but the lace really pops, so they’re perfect.
You know what’s not perfect? trying to take pics of your own hands in mitts (yes, I took the picture above). Thankfully, Meghan helped out and we got some better shots.
You may be wondering why I didn’t draft The Husband. At the time I decided to take pictures, he was knee-deep in the World of Warcraft. It’d be like trying to talk me into doing a photo shoot whilst I’m counting 1200 stitches…for the fifth time.

Thank you so much. I was really pleased with the pattern.
Love them! So classy, yet so bright and lively. I give up on trying to get photos taken by the family! I just use my daughters dress mannequin.
I’m glad I’m not the only one….now I need a mannequin with hands!
Wow they look fantastic. I love that colour. It works so well!
Thanks, yes, the Dragonfruit really is something special.
