Yeah! I have decided that my day off before thanksgiving will be a knitting holiday. I have decided to devote my day to dreaming about all things woolly, silky, and maybe even synthetic if the color suites. This day will begin with viewing "knitting porn" on ravelry while enjoying my coffee. All of those clever projects in fabulous yarns to fantasize about making (if I only had the time).

I was lucky to get some knitting done on the bus home from a field trip today. I am looking foreward to staying up late and knitting while watching Britcoms.
