by Kay Whit.I'm still not finished - I had to put away my sewing machine so that someone could sleep in my sewing room over Thanksgiving! - but it's been a great experience. I've learned how to sew a much better zipper than I've been using since high school and a much better way to adapt patterns. The actual skirts in the book are fairly simple but there are patterns for dresses and coats as well.
Part of the class involved making ruffles so I'm thinking my Christmas presents will have lots of them!
Thanksgiving at our house was very relaxed - lots of eating, visiting museums and trips to the movies.
I also had some time to finish up the Hedgerow Socks.
If I had made them any longer - I would have run out of yarn!

I also had some time to start a pair of Pop Up Paws for Mr. Daisy. Middle Daughter decided to knit a pair for herself and I thought I should give them a whirl as well. I'm not so crazy about the finger sections - they are a little rough and ready - but Mr. Daisy always wanted a pair.
I've also picked up Youngest Child's quilt. It's still waiting for the edging but one Christmas Present down, five more to go.
The pattern is called Little Bits from the Last-Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts

When you have to clean house for holiday guests, you end up with a lot of odd things to give away. Two trash cans, a basket, two sewing patterns and two tee shirts. Good bye Saturday Seven!
