So I had some false starts on the Sasparilla socks from the October shipment of the Cookie A sock club. So I ditched that pattern and decided to try the Hedgerow socks instead. I just finished the cuff on both socks. I did make the pumpkin cookies with brown butter glaze from this shipment:
These cookies are more cake-like than cookie-like but they are yummy. Meanwhile, I have caught a massive case of Giants fever! So I took a break from sock knitting to whip up this hat:
Seriously, I can’t believe how into this World Series I am. I’m a native San Franciscan but I’ve never been much of a baseball fan (though you may remember I hit a fun Stitch ‘n Pitch a few years ago at AT&T Park). I know a LOT about football but I’d never really understood the nuances of baseball. But I’d also never had a 10.5-year-old son before! He’s teaching me so much and I’m loving getting to know the players (Panda!) and the strategy! I see more Giants-related knits in my future. Speaking of my future, the socks may take awhile because I’ve got one more month before the school craft fair and I want to whip out some last hats for that. I hope I won’t bore you with hat pictures in the coming posts. I will soon have an update on a knitting class I’ll be taking as well as an update on my hexagons as soon as I get around to photographing them. In the meantime, GO GIANTS!

We’ve become Giant’s fans “overnight” and are thrilled to have come to another World Series Champion team. The year I moved to Boston the Sox did a World Series sweep too — funny timing!

We live about 20 minutes from Comerica Park and there are morose Tigers fans everywhere. I love watching live baseball, but prefer to go to the farm team games.

Even many people here have said they wished the Tigers had won one game.
