From Susan — Overheard on Black Friday

Talk Turkey
These turkeys were part of a large flock on my lawn today…

Can you relate? Thanksgiving is a wonderful tradition, but man, what a lot of work!! My dinner AND pie all turned out well, so I am thankful for that — and the leftovers.

Black Friday: I met up with my peeps this morning at 7:30 am at our LYS (Amazing Threads) for their Black Friday festivities. I did buy a few items. A pattern running through our group right now is the Rikke Hat (free pattern – Ravelry link). It is a cute, slouchy, easy-to-knit hat that takes one skein of worsted weight yarn. It is a great way to use up that one beautiful skein of handpainted yarn and gift it this holiday — like Madeline Tosh DK or Malabrigo. I made one already for my eldest and it was really cute on her. I reduced the “slouch” from 9 inches to ~ 6 at her request.

Now, I am off to knit, drink coffee, watch Netflix and eat pecan pie. Yep: nothing gets better than this!!

  1. I love the less slouchy look. It’s on my list.

  2. I like this hat and I want to make it. I have some beautiful sock yarn that I want to use. Would i have to modify the pattern?
