With all of my gift knitting done, I can get back to my White Pine sweater. ❤️ Still absolutely loving how @hudsonandwestco Forge is knitting up, and the antler buttons I got from @twigandhorn are gonna look so good. . . . . . #hwontheroad #hwholiday [Image: Knit textured sweater body, cuff of knit sleeves in progress, and two sets of deer antlers buttons on cream cards on a tan background]

And Mom’s stocking is done! Not sure why the lighting is so weird in the photo, but I’m really happy with both how it turned out and how much yarn it used up. I hope she likes it too. . . . . . [Image: grey knit stocking with seven blue embroidered snowflakes on tan background]

Also, before I forget, today on the blog is the next installment of the Cotton Series, where I’m talking about removing seeds from your fiber. 🔗 in bio if you want to give it a read! . . . . . . [Image: hand holding fuzzy green cotton seeds. in background is a crank cotton gin and woven rug]

Goat for Mom. Shhhh, you can’t tell her though because it’ll be hiding in her stocking (which I still need to finish knitting) as a surprise Christmas morning. . I’m really really happy with how this one turned out! I had my doubts while knitting but it worked out wonderfully, especially since I found my needle felting needle in time to attach its whiskers. Now off to finish that stocking... . . . . [Image: light grey knitted goat with black horns and red scarf on wooden bookshelf. Needlepunch sheep picture in the background]

The end results of *almost* all the tiny spins from last week. Didn’t finish the one on my Egret yet, and decided to keep the one on the spindle with the clay whirl going because, well, I wanted to. . . . . . . [image: nine skeins of yarn in various colors lined up on tan background]

The trio of maple leaves is finished! I may end up fulling them a bit to make them lay better but overall I’m really happy with them. Now to decide what to make to hang on my wall for winter... I’m thinking a snowflake garland and maybe crochet stars, but I’m open to suggestions! . . . . . . . [Image: three red knit maple leaves hanging above multi colored knit leaf garland on tan wall]

Join me on the blog today as I talk about harvesting and sorting cotton! . . . . . . [Image: cotton branch with two open bolls of green cotton on tan background]

Up on my blog today are some musings on cleaning, tending, and mending as gratitude practices, if you care to give them a read. 😊 . . . . . . . [image: folded pair of jeans with hole in the knee and floral sewing basket on tan background]

Only five more pattern repeats then I’ll be done with the body of my White Pine! After knitting Menhir on US 4 needles it feels like this is flying off the needles. Also @hudsonandwestco Forge was absolutely the right choice for this sweater. I mean, look at how the cables and texture are working up! 😍 . . . . . .
