Pre-Turkey Day Tidings

Since the many days since my last post, I've finished things:
And started things:
This is Cascade Heritage, in a pale yellow.

I've also decided that there will be no appearance by the Crazy Baker Lady this year. We'll be in Jersey, so I won't have my own kitchen to be my crazy baking self in. Only moderate amounts of baking allowed. Sigh.

Invention

After Rhinebeck, there was some family time, including a field trip to Mr. Edison's old thinktank in West Orange, NJ. This happy fellow was in the factory library, looking extremely pleased with life. After all, he did have wings, a bit of clothing, and a working lightbulb. Who wouldn't be happy?

This is Room12, where Edison did his own puttering about with dangerous chemicals and whatnot.
This is the second of the dreaded irregularly patterned pink socks, so dreaded and irregular that I have yet to finish them.

Jersey Baby wants red gloves, which led to some tinkering of my own:
This is the left glove in red and white Wool-Ease. The colorwork is based on this free firetruck pattern. I sort of made up the rest as sort of generic gloves. Now I just have to make the right hand glove.
