Hi, Jan,
While you are rocking on Vanessa’s sweater, I am making steady but slow progress on DITF. I have knit about 4.5 inches since last post - not that slouchy when you consider that is about 50 rows. I can see progress, but I also see a long way to go.
My holiday cactus is coming into bloom. Here is one of the first blossoms - lots of fat buds to come. Thanksgiving is so late this year, I wonder if any will last until then.
A busy week ahead - we’ll see how much further the sweater comes. Good luck on yours.
love,
Ellen

One of the only places where I truly love fuchsia. I hope it lasts!
And DITF is fabulous, so fabulous. We are all counting on you to finish it, so you must.

that’s a lovely cactus, we call them Christmas cactus here, if that is of any help in case it will miss Thanksgiving! My aunt of 86 yrs has an old one that she claims was given to her by my grandmother at least 50 years ago, well I do believe her but I never managed to keep one alive more than a year or two

The sweater looks great! And now I’ve got to go out and check my Christmas cactus — I wonder if it’ll bloom this year?
