I'm crocheting some autumnal-looking granny square covers for throw pillows for our downstairs den. The yarn is some long-stashed Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool, and I'm using a D hook, which feels TINY! Usually I crochet with worsted or chunky weight yarn.
My Greenfield cardigan is in time-out right now, as the first sleeve turned out enormous. Crazy big. My gauge is spot-on, so I'm very annoyed. I'd love to wear this cardigan over winter break, though, so I'll have to rip way back and add a whole bunch of decreases.

Cooking Light's recipe for Roasted Butternut Squash and Bacon Pasta was delicious the other week!
I loved the contrast between the sweet roasted squash and the crispy bacon. Be forewarned, though, that this is a complicated recipe -- lots of dirty pots and pans, plus a rather odd recipe for white sauce. Lots of flour, no butter -- the sauce itself tasted a little weird and floury, but once incorporated into the recipe it was just fine.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I like the throw pillow covers! Very nice combination of colors. Happy belated birthday to Paul. Happy Thanksgiving!
I don't even know what to comment on first. Okay the plate, gorgeous! I love your new autumny squares and the recipe is going to be a must make this winter.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Love your silky wool squares, great colour combo!
Do we get to see the recipe for the carrot cupcakes? I'd love to give that a try!
I saw a lady last week wearing a pull-over sweater made from granny squares. It looked great and so I had to ask her. Of course, it was a gift from a friend.
It all looks so lovely and ready for fall! Happy Thanksgiving!
Your granny squares always make me want to learn how to crochet, they are going to be awesome pillows.
I had carrot cake for my birthday, too - go, Paul! :)
Love the crochet square. I really, really need to get over my crocheting phobia. There are so many beautiful things to crochet.
I hope you can figure out the sleeve. That is one of the sweaters I have marked to knit out of the book too. But don't feel bad, my Lia from KNitty had to be frogged because I felt the body was too short. And I am not only short but short waisted!!! A fewextra inches has made the differnce.
Happy day agter Thanksgiving!!!!!
Yummy looking things you're cooking up Jodi! And I love the granny square cushion idea - something so homey and cosy about grannies, isn't there?
Happy Holidays to you!

The blue lotus dish as cupcake presentation is perfect. I can just taste the bit of zest making my favorite part (cream cheese frosting) pop.
And ooh, squash and bacon. Sounds warm, sweet and savory.
