Wow the light is really bad.  Look at the progress on the sock.  They yarn is from a yarn club based on studio Ghibli movies.  This one is based on Princess Mononoke. The sock is ready for the heel but my size 2's are busy.  It went pretty quickly but I think it had more to do with being in too many waiting rooms than anything else.  Since I'm trying to free up the size 2's I've been working on the fingerless mitts.  I'm almost to the thumb on the first one.  I've been working on the little fox as well.  It's not a hard pattern but I'm not a fan of the writing style. The other problem I've had is that all the other stuffies I've made have the decreases on the back or bottom an this one they are in the front.  I'm hoping the stuffing won't show through too much.  I've made all the pieces except the tail.  I'm not looking forward to sewing it together.  That's the part I always hate about stuffed animals. I am out of waiting room knitting.  Everything I have has too much thinking till I can free up the size 2 needles.  I don't want to start another project (well I do want to but I shouldn't) I'll spin till I can work on something else.

I finished my story for NaNoWriMo.  I knew I was going to run out of plot and I did at the 27,926 mark. After I spell check it and have a couple of people read it and see what they think.  It was somehow easier and harder at the same time.  The actual writing wasn't hard at all and at times was really fun.  Finding ways to explain and describe things was interesting.  It took up a lot more time than I though.  Someone experienced with writing could probably make the story 50,000 but that's not me (not now anyway).  I'll probably leave it for a wile then look at it and see if I can do something with it. Now that I have my time back I'll try and post more often.

I'm still watching the k-dramas with the kids but what I'm doing most of is catching up on podcasts.  Some of them have three episodes out.  I'm getting through them slowly.  Amy Beth (The Fat Squirrel Speaks) made me actually laugh out loud but other than that I don't think there was anything extra special.  If I run into anything I'll let you know.

It's really cold and my husband is still on vacation but that's about it around here.  I'm not complaining though.  We are mostly ready for Thanksgiving.  I have a few more things to buy but as long as I buy them early in the week we should be o.k.  I don't want to shop anywhere near Thanksgiving or Black Friday.  I think that's it so I'll talk to you next time.
