An Unwilling Model

We are now less than three weeks away from my first carpal tunnel surgery, and prep is going well. I made two big batches of burrito bowl fillings for the freezer, and I currently have one reserve loaf of freezer challah (though I do hope to make at least two more). I also finished my one xmas knit this week, as well as the first knit for my friend's impending baby.

Coleslaw absolutely hates modeling baby booties, but the concept was just too cute to leave untried.

(Yes, those are duck feet baby booties, and yes, they are too cute for words.)

I'm also officially into my busiest two weeks of work, but if I make it through the next nine days then I get the whole week of Thanksgiving off as a reward. I'm hoping to use that week to finish up a few more baby knits as well as my current vest project (which hasn't progressed since the last time you saw it, but it really doesn't need too much more work). 

This week I also attended a bookbinding workshop at my local library. We did two types of non-sewn bindings and made mini journals. Both techniques were new to me, and I'm really excited with the possibilities they offer in terms of my own projects as I get more into bookbinding as a hobby.
