I am spending the Thanksgiving holiday puttering and futzing around the house. I'm knitting, reading (finished 2 books, now am on the third!), and wrapping up home projects. Oh, and there's been napping and shopping too! Ah, the life of leisure.

First, another finished Helena. This one is for a friend's little preemie girl who is doing very well and will hopefully be home by Christmas.

Project specs: Cascade Yarns' Cotton Rich DK in color 1457 (cantaloupe) on #6 and #2 needles. Project mods: only 5 lace repeats, a picot front edge, and no ties. This pattern is so much fun and fast gratification. I think all my friends should only have girl babies so I can knit this for them.

I also finished my Christmas knitting. These tawashies are going to be gifted with handmade soaps.

Project specs: Circular Scrubby knit in Cotton Rich DK and Wildflower DK remnants from the stash. Another fun, fast project as well as a stashbuster.

The current car project is a comfort shawl for Fletcher Allen's Breast Cancer Center. If you are interested in how you can knit for the Center, post in the comments and I'll get you the information. So far, I've have 5 people from Rav's VT Knitters show interest.

And here's what's next up on the needles. mmmmcashmeremmmm.
