Today we're celebrating Thanksgiving Japanese style. No, we're not having sushi and saki. Instead, we celebrate a vertible smorgasborg of amigurumi. Let's start with an absolutely adorable Indian maiden and her papoose.
Now let's add some happy pilgrims. They should be happy because those Indians saved their hungry butts. These look like very well fed pilgrims... they must be my ancestors. :-)
What's for dinner? No matter what you want to make for your big meal, amigurumi offers a complete menu of culinary options.

What's missing? Candied sweet potatoes, but I don't like them anyway. And my grandmother's Tidewater Creamed Onions, the main reason I show up for Thanksgiving every year (not true, but those onions are just delicious).
I'll end by telling you two things for which I am grateful. First, I am thankful that my beloved boyfriend, Tom, was born into this world 56 years ago today. Happy birthday, honey - I'm so glad you're here.

And second, I am thankful for YOU. Thank you for showing up and reading my missives no matter how long or silly. I am so grateful to join you in this ultimate online knit-a-long. Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends - and my British one, too. :-)

Hope your Christmas knitting is going well. I wanted to do some yarn shopping today, but the stores were so full I gave up. Maybe next week.
Happy Birthday, Tom!
