Thanks giving

[grammargirl]

As is traditional, here is a list of things for which I am thankful this year:

• The close relationship between my mom and me since I moved to NY
• The unconditional love (as long as I keep feeding her) of one Miss Pollycat, purring contentedly on my lap as I type
• Friends, new and old
• Haley Bug gets her very own bullet. She knows why.
• So does Rebecca
• A job that challenges and excites me
• A thoroughly unexpected Thanksgiving bonus from said job
• Wonderful boss and coworkers
• The financial security that allows me to buy the occasional skein of yarn or pretty shoes or nice dinner without worrying about paying rent
• The astonishing potential of a ball of yarn and a set of needles
• Crisp days perfect for showing off handknits
• Perfect red velvet cake, my favorite ice cream in the world, awesome middle eastern food, and the platonic ideal of a coffee shop--all within a two-and-a-half-block radius of my apartment
• Ample reading material

I have just started knitting. if you have any good starter patterns, for like, something besides a scarf (which is basically all i can make right now!) I'd be grateful.

if you have pictures of your stuff, I'd love to see it. I'm kind of in awe of people who are actually good knitters!

I like that three of these bullets are about knitting.
