Finished my Celtic Christmas Throw yesterday and got some photos today. Still need to block it but that will need to wait until I have more time and less rain. I love how it turned out.

My "Where the Mountain Meets the Moon" shawl is into the coppery rust color now. This one is destined for the store if all goes well. #knitsky #laceknitting

It’s off the needles and awaiting its bath. Toying with dyeing the lighter end of it blue. Will decide tomorrow before I block it. #knitsky #knitting #laceknitting

My Celtic Christmas throw is growing. I’m starting the 3rd skein and finishing up the second repeat of the first chart. It’s almost big enough to lay across my lap, so keeping me cozy and warm as I knit. #knitsky #knitting #cableknitting

I feel so decadent and elite. I actually snagged a turkey breast to cook for Thanksgiving and it didn't blow my whole week's grocery budget. The cranberries however will have to wait for another year.

Today I am focusing on my Celtic Christmas Throw, hoping to have it done by Thanksgiving, my time for decorating. These old wrists are not loving the heavier yarn. I need to take lots of breaks but I'll use the time to work up some dye blanks for next week's gradient dyeing session with my friend.

It's finished! I will try to get some photos of it on a table if I can find someone near me who has a round table. Love how this turned out! #knitsky #laceknitting #knitting

Finally off the needles. Now to figure out how to block it since it's going to be bigger than my blocking mats or bed. #knitsky

Just bought this week's groceries plus gas for the car. Wow! Double-whammy. Those who voted for trump because he would lower prices were woefully ignorant.
