Thanksgiving Day is Coming...

"Thanksgiving Day is coming, Thanksgiving Day is coming, Thanksgiving Day is coming...
And we will have a wonderful time."
(Preschool Choir Song)

My turkey is resting and thawing in the fridge. I have everything we need to complete the rest of the meal waiting for the big day. Scones in the freezer are ready for the oven for our Thanksgiving Breakfast. Still some housework to do before my mom and her husband arrive for Thanksgiving Dinner. I doubt this year there will be any Black Friday Shopping, don't really need anything and nothing out there I really want to get up at 4:00 in the morning for. We have friends in town coming over the day on Friday, much better way to spend the day that fighting the crowds down tiny shopping aisles.

I started the February sweater, but I am a bit stuck at the sleeves and trying to figure out the pithy directions in the book, and the advice on the zimmermanics ravelry group. Not only do I not really get EZ's directions, trying to figure out knitting sleeves in the round as an alternative is not helping either. I can't seem to wrap my brain around what I am supposed to do! So I will let it rest (my brain and my project!) and work on my other projects until I think more clearly.

Back to work, lots to finish before Thanksgiving day!

Don't know if this helps with the sweater but: I had to pick up stitches at the underarms and then knit the sleeves in the round. If I remember correctly, once you join up the yoke to make it one piece, you're left with a gap at the underarm. I picked up extra stitches there for the correct count for the stitch pattern. I may have left notes in ravelry?
