Life in Focus
I highly recommend the Improve Photography podcast.
Are you interested in doing a photo challenge series? Let’s chat. I’ve started a thread in the Ravelry group.
Events
Karrie, host of the Knit Purl Gurl Videocast passed away suddenly this week. Please consider participating in one of these events.
Snowflake Ornaments for Karrie’s Family
There’s also a KAL going on in Friends of Knit Purl Gurl Group on Ravelry. Folks are knitting along with any of Karrie’s pattern. Karrie has 5 beautiful shawl patterns– please note that the proceeds of the pay for patterns will go to her family, so that’s also a nice way to contribute if you’re so inclined.
Karrie started a project back in early October called Random Acts of Patterns Tuesday.
So again, if you’re interested in passing along some good in the midst of tragedy then please consider paying it forward on an upcoming Tuesday.
Don’t forget about our Holiday Knit-a-long. Any holiday gifts you finish and post before 12/31/12 will be entered into the contest for a prize.

Studio progress- the counter is finished! Just need to do some clean up and start moving in!
On a Happy Note
Thanksgiving traditions, a fun-fillled Thanksgiving weekend including Black Friday shopping, Dan’s birthday party, crafting and Boston Ballet’s The Nutcracker.
Knitting in Passing
Saw a lady on the train knitting a baby sweater in royal blue. Love seeing holiday knitting in action.
Quote of the Week
Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
