Note, this isn’t the final version but I wanted to repost for those who missed it. I’ll pin it again (not sure when the pin dropped but whatever).
I’ve revised the #2026TempProject. It’s a bit wider so it should be perfect as a throw and I’ve tweaked the colors. #Knitting 🧶

I use Amazon for everyday things because of my disabilities. But for my yarn and bespoke things I do my best to stick to individual artists, preferably women, and/or minorities. On Black Friday celebrate businesses owned by Black women, like this fabulous one!!

Read this to Jake and his response was, “Well, looks like the apple was punted into a lake.”

Had a fabulous day with Jake making the cranberry stuff and the first batch of stuffing. Tomorrow we fine tune the stuffing recipe and make a ton of potatoes. Meanwhile, his 1st Santa Suit sock is done and the 2nd is started. Hope you all had a good day. #NightlyProgressReport

The first Santa Suit sock is done. On to the second…

Here’s Ina Garten’s recipe that I use. I leave the walnuts out because I’m the only one that likes them. I sprinkle them on just mine.

He’s pushing them into private loans that don’t have the same flexibility, options, or benefits as federal loans. The lenders view these provisions of the Big Disgusting Bill as huge opportunities. It’s about the money AND gate keeping.
He is keeping poorer families out of these professions. It’s modern day red-lining.

Turns out I need 55 rows after the gusset decreases with this yarn and this needle for Jake’s 11” long foot (size 13). Here’s what my shorthand for these looks like and here’s the sock. I’m on the toe but it’s time to go make the cranberry stuff. #Knitting #Socks 🧶

I refuse to leave the house or spend any money on Black Friday. I finished purchasing for the holidays a few weeks ago (with the exception of getting together with C & P to get a bigger baby related item for M & M). Everything else is just waiting to go into wrapping bags.

I slept in today. I’d like to get up to make my coffee and start knitting but am currently trapped under Jazz, as usual. #Jazzabelle #Tortie #Cats

It’s a really good thing that I boost my protein intake with Chike cause my main meal is going to consist of leftover stuffing, potatoes, and my beloved cranberry compote for as long as they last. I typically hate leftovers, but not this week.
November 27, 2025 at 3:09 PM
Tomorrow Jake will help me put together the stuffing (bread, butter, broth, onions, apples, cider, and traditional herbs of rosemary, sage, and thyme), and a huge pan of mashed potatoes with butter, cream cheese, and sour cream. We’re making extra of everything for leftovers.

Years ago I saw an episode of The Barefoot Contessa in which Ina Garten made a cranberry compote with cranberries, orange, lemon, apples, raisins, and walnuts and I’ve been making it ever since. That will happen later today.
November 27, 2025 at 3:03 PM
We aren’t getting together until Saturday (I prefer to not celebrate the white washing of history and the murder of the original inhabitants on the traditional Thursday). So today and tomorrow are days for resting, knitting, and preparing food.
November 27, 2025 at 3:01 PM
Fabulous thread!
As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.

Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

For socks, swatches, and other smallish things, I prefer to measure with a ruler rather than a tape measure. One day, when wording was hard, my mouth smooshed blue and ruler together and Ferris Blueler was named. I’ve got ~2” to go until I can start the toe. #NightlyProgressReport #Knitting 🧶

If you like action adventure movies, this is a wild ride-literally. Didn’t realize it was a Michael Bay flick until the end credits but I should have guessed.

Gusset decreases are done. Now I just need to knit until it’s 2” shy of his size 13 foot…

Checked w/Jake and apparently multiple colorways on the same sock hits his tism hard in a bad way. So just Santa Suit, got it. Glad I asked. He discovered the term AuDDtism the other day and was absolutely giddy at how perfect it is. I agree.

I’m enjoying the Emma’s Yarn so much that I revisited the yarns we picked up on that trip. Since I think I’m going to use Carter’s navy for Jake’s toes, I think I’ll make Carter’s socks after these. The purple on the far rt next to the navy is his. Phaja’s 2 colors are next to that.
