Errands, Lathe and Knit!

We had to go into town but when we got home, I couldn't wait to head to the lathe!  I hollowed out the bowl in no time at all without a single mistake!  I almost felt like a real wood turner!

Today I hope to release the tenon from the chuck and turn the bowl around for the last time to remove the tenon and make a smooth bowl bottom!  Stay tuned!
I knit on the second sock while in the car yesterday but am being distracted with cute little bells when I take a break.  Mom sent the pattern for a little stocking, too, so I will give that a try and show you soon.  Family arrives this afternoon, I need to do baking first thing...I will most likely take a break from everything except knitting in the evening because my hands will be busy cooking or snuggling some grands!

    Happy Thanksgiving! Seeing the bowls form on your lathe is a delight. I love this one and its grain.

    WOW! Look at the grain on that bowl! It's gorgeous! I hope you have a wonderful time with your family. Enjoy the baking time. I always did my Thanksgiving baking on Wednesday as well as all of the prep work for the stuffing and turkey. I'm missing that this year.
    Blessings,
    Betsy
