Playing Catch Up

I just can't help myself, the list of things to make grows ever longer. For Christmas, may I have another set of hands please?

These Paint Pail Mittens from the Purl Bee are so cute I could puke.

After making one to give away, Park & Cube has inspired me to make more of these bow know scarves. Fine gauge, super soft yarn and a larger size? Yes please. (This is the pattern I originally used.)

I've never handpainted yarn before but I've always been curious to try. This method is so smart – mix up your dye (aka Kool-Aid) and freeze in an ice cube tray, and simply let 'em melt. Brilliant, and easy enough that I might actually get to this sometime soon.
(On a very much related note, any Canadians/Torontonians have a good source for Kool-Aid with no sugar added? I've heard it's difficult to find.)

Americans, please stop making me so hungry for turkey. It's not fair, you know? I could eat only this panini from The Pioneer Woman using leftover turkey and cranberry sauce 4 daze.

I'll probably end up making these herbed turkey burgers with cranberry sauce and goat cheese instead to satisfy my craving (though I won't be making the buns. Seriously, who bakes the buns?)

I'm really excited for this pan-fried pumpkin gnocci for a few reasons: 1. it features a brown butter and sage sauce, 2. the ingredients are inexpensive and easy to find, 3. the instructions look really doable. God, Steamy Kitchen, you make it look so easy.

Here's hoping for a wonderful weekend, filled with making good stuff,

meeting good folk, eating good foods.
