November loves and whatnots...

 

Here we are on the verge on beginning another month. In less than 23 hours it will be December...wow!

 

 

So many up and down temps has led to this girl coming down with a rather nasty cold. Hot tea, soup and lots of rest has been happening.

 

 

The upside of colds is that it can lead to some rather productive knitting, during the few hours of wake times. :)

 

pattern: Hermione's everyday socks  yarn: Madelinetosh sock in Magnolia Leaf

Presto finished Fall socks. Just in time.

 

 

Happy mail days have provided much needed cold comfort. Packages of scrap donation from treasured friend Ine. Do you spy the lovely tea there that makes my tea tin so happy?

 

 

Kind hearted Corinne also helped my blanket along with more beautiful scraps, a lovely picture and always in demand chocolate.

Lots of wonderful things happening despite Mr. Cold's attempt to get me down. Not happening! Then of course we have loves around blogland. Yep, it is already that time of the month.

 

• Kittens and knitting...really need I say more? Amanda slayed me with these photos.
• Bethany's Zombie Vixen mitts are perfect for warding off cold temps and bringing beautiful color into the mix.
• This Fair Isle hat is fantastic. Well done Karen, now I want to knit one.
• I often mention my friend Anne and her wonderful designs and yarn on my blog. Her latest pullover is an example of why I sing her praises.
• You know I love socks, right? Therefore you can image my glee after seeing Corinne's mini socks all on display.
• This post from Alina is fantastic. I could look at those brilliant images for hours.
• Erin has been doing an excellent series of posts on Gifts for Knitters. May want to pass this info on to someone who had no clue how to shop for the yarnies in their lives.
• Nicole's perfect little cardi.

 

Hope you enjoyed your time visiting. I know for me it is the perfect way to spend time with fiber lovers around the world without a plane ticket.

Enjoy this video. It reminds me of my mom and her love for cooking and cookbooks. Especially fitting as we just had our Thanksgiving in the US and for me it is not so much about the food but the preparation and love that goes into these shared meals.

Yay for tea and getting better and of course for all the people out there knitting ;-) You are so right that being able to share other people's project is a little bit like travelling. And it can lead to serious travel plans...

[Kat]

Sad to hear you've not been feeling well. Glad you have such good friends to send you little bits of happiness to make your day a little better. Feel well again soon!

[Mindy]

MadTosh Magnolia Leaf is one of my favorite colors, and your socks are beautiful.

[Brandy]

I hope you are feeling better soon! Your fall socks came out splendidly. Happy (almost) December.

[Dee]

Hope you are feeling better soon. Surely the tea will help.
:-)

Your Hermione's Everyday Sock is beautiful. That is a lucious color.

[wendy]

Got to love tea, and your socks too and hope you are on the mend to feeling awesome again....kittens, oh my xoxoxo

[karen]

one can never have enough tea or yarn (and books!). And that's all I need (from steve martin, the jerk).

lovely cozy photos Andi, and love to visit new to me places! Thanks for the links :)

[Alina]

Thank you, Andi! I hope you are getting better. When I am sick, my healing process is almost identical to yours - books, lots of knitting/crocheting and knitting blogs. This video is inspiring, kind and so... quiet and cozy. Love it. I am hopeless in the kitchen, maybe someday...

[AngelaH]

Those socks of yours are so fantastic. I'm sorry to hear you're under the weather, but there's nothing like a reminder to slow down with tea and knitting.

[Kepanie]

Sorry you've been dealing with a cold. I see those wonderful socks are finished. I can feel your smile all the way over here.

[steph]

at least you got the holiday cold early this year, so you'll be able to enjoy the rest of the festivities!! I'm still looking forward (!!?!!) to mine! yay for finished socks!!!!!

[Tracey]

Every time I visit here I am inspired Andi, thank you.
And thank you for the links there will be happy clicking in my day.
Happy December.

[Bekah]

I love your photos, and always will. Such lovely socks !

[Tahnee]

Hope you feel better soon, those socks are simply wonderful!

[Sharlene Siders]

Love your socks! Also love the coaster under your tea cup!

[ellen]

Feel better. I'm not even sick and I read you and I always want a good cup of milky earl grey. I'm glad to know you like soup. We can be friends ;)Much health and happiness, Andi.

[Siga]

Hope you're better. Yay for a finished pair of socks!

[Ine]

Lovely Hermione's! Hope you feel better soon, Andi!

[Jesse]

I hope you feel better soon, Andi! though, I always feel like fall/winter is the "best" time to get sick, because then you have an excuse to stay snuggled on the couch and watch movies and knit all day :)

I love your November socks, gorgeous. And of course I love that pattern :)

[Leigh]

Dear Andi, I hope you are feeling much improved - though I also hope you don't feel the need to get back to "normal" yet so you can get a little more knitting done under the guise of rest and recuperation;). Lovely socks - lucky feet! Thanks so much for the great blog loves, I can see why they all made the list, there's so much amazing talent out there! And those kitty photos slayed me too!!! xoxo
