![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!!!!

I’ve been a terrible blogger lately….but I post almost daily on Instagram if you’re having withdrawal. I will try to blog soon, but just now, I’m too busy knitting and putting up Christmas trees.
I do want to let you all know that Hunter Hammersen has a new book up for pre-sale tomorrow at noon Eastern time. It’s 14 patterns of lovely wraps that you can make out of just about any yarn imaginable. I’m not big on wraps as a rule, but I must have a copy; the cover wrap is stunning! The first 250 people that order the paper book get a free surprise and anyone that preorders gets a discount. So, wish yourself a Happy November and order a copy. 
they look interesting, but I already have a gazillion patterns I want to knit!!! I won’t be sucked in, I won’t, I won’t, I…I….well maybe I will look into it. LOL
PUTTING UP YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE!?! :-D Hahaha. I make everyone in my family wait until the day after Thanksgiving to put Christmas decorations up. LOL.
I really intended to resist buying the book. How many little shawls does one person need? I bought one anyway. Gridelin and Fulvous are my favorites, and a friend has already made noise about liking Icterine. And I bet my mom would love all of them…
