good news

Henrik Sedin is now the Vancouver Canucks 13th Captain.  He deserves this honour. I read an article about Henrik and Daniel in which they said in their native country of Sweden they are nobodies and because of that when they go back to Sweden in the summer they can actually rest and not be swamped by sports writers.  They are such nice guys.

On needle 2 knit all 20 stitches.
On needle 3 knit1,sl 1,k 1,psso.
This is one round of the gusset.
The second round is just plain knt on all three needles.
Knit these 2 rounds until needles one and three each have 10 stitches while needle 2 still has 20 stitches.

From this point on knit all rounds until the sock meets the first  knuckle of the big toe. For many feet that is about 7 inches from the heel.
REST!!
We made dinner for Adam and Lisa instead of going out for dinner. We have eaten out so much lately, a home cooked meal is a treat. Simple food, hot Italian sausage, potatoes fried with onion, celery, large mushrooms and garlic. So delicious! Ray's special salad, my special cauliflower with cheese sauce. MMMM!!! We made the meal together, Ray cooked the sausage and I cooked the potatoes.
As for sewing today I just took out the redwork block that was in backwards. It is ready for when our company leaves and I have some time. I don't plan to do any work tomorrow as we are all going to Rick and Carla's for Thanksgiving dinner. Monday I plan to not eat LOL.
Now I am going to rest....
Buena Notte.
