\\nOn the Needles:
\\n
\\nGigi finished her Icarus! Also, the Knitmore Girls need to do some serious blocking (including Gigi\'s "Flamingo Feathers" (really a Peacock Plumes shawl made in pink Malabrigo laceweight) and "Fischu".
\\n
\\nJasmin is still working on her Day-Glo sock #2 and her Mushroom Caps sock #2, and has finished the spinning for her (future) toe-up rainbow socks. Jasmin is also spinning a batt from Crystal Creek Fibers (silk and ramboullet) for Gigi. She\'s also finishing a sweater for Sandi (at Purlescence Yarns).
\\n
\\nGigi is working on her Neck Down Wrap Caridgan. She\'s still working on the Coriolis, Upstream socks, and the Zig Zag Slip Stitch socks.
\\n
\\nTika started her NaNoSweMo sweater (Selina from Rowan) out of felted tweed.
\\n
\\nThe girls decided that finishing UFOs feels good. (Jasmin\'s zippy UFO boxes can be found here.)

\\nWhen Knitting Attacks:
\\n
\\nWe talk about taking on too much holiday knitting, baking, and sewing.
\\n
\\nMother Knows Best:
\\n
\\nOnly knit for people who desperately\\nbeg for knitted gifts. If people don\'t beg, they won\'t appreciate it.\\n(The cashmere socks were the Whitby socks from Knitting on the Road, and Jasmin used the charcoal grey Grignasco cashmere.) This year, Gigi is knitting a Sharks hat for Sam (the Knitmore Boy) out of the Claudia\'s Handpaint worsted in "Sharks".
\\n
\\nInstead of giving kids knitted gifts, give them the gift of time, or books!
\\n
\\nAnnouncement:
\\n
\\nNaNoSweMo\\n- National Sweater Knitting Month. Now is a great time to knit a first\\nsweater, and Jasmin recommends starting with a baby sweater.
