Tis the season for parties and gathering with good friends. Knitters are no exception. In fact, we'll take any excuse to party.
The amazing Sandy and her wonderful husband, Sam, hosted the TKE holiday party again this year. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
It was a great night - good food, great friends, entertaining stories, cool knits, and presents!
A big thanks to my parents who donated one of their turkeys for the festivities. (Yes, in addition to the beekeeping, they raise turkeys! At least this year, evidently they aren't too keen on repeating the experience.)
At 30 + lbs, I could never have fit the bird in the tiny oven in our house, but Sandy said, "no problem," and Sam did an awesome job as chef.

And then we had the yankee swap - always good for a few laughs and some wicked good stuff.










Yes - you did see a bread machine. Seems our little group has a talent for the bargain shopping. Karen was able to take our rather small dollar limit and turn it into a cool appliance. Sarah managed to produce a $10 coffee machine for the Christmas in July party. I think we now have a tradition going. Wonder what the next big deal will be.
Hope you all are enjoying this holiday season with wonderful people and cozy knits.
