November Knitting & My Current Obsessions
I love words + pictures so much that this is too long to read in an email. Read the entire article in the app or online at coastalknitsandpurls.com.
November has come and gone. We kicked off the holiday season and now it is December! Crazy. Check out what I was up to and what I’m currently obsessed with in the knitting world.

FOs (Finished Objects)
I finished up Wings of Renewal with a Pop of Color Shortie Socks. It’s pair #17 for the year.
Yarn: Hypnotic Yarn – Wings of Renewal
Needles: Chiaogoo 9” Circulars
Pattern: Modified Vanilla Shortie Sock
WIPs (Works in Progress)
I’ve been working on two pairs of Christmas socks. A pair of Christmas Scrappy Socks and Christmas Cranberry Socks.
I continued knitting my modified DK Flax sweater and I finally finished the yoke and separated the sleeves. Now I'm working on the body.
3 Current Knitting Obsessions
Here’s what I can’t stop reaching for this month:
Chiaogoo Red Twist Interchangeable Needles – They make sock and sweater knitting a dream.
Southern Skeins Yarn – This is one of my favorite Florida yarn dyers. I've been using her yarn for my Christmas Scrappy Socks and my Cranberry Christnas Socks.
Lion Brand Pound of Love – Perfect for my first cozy sweater project, soft and squishy!
Reading
October was a solid reading month. Here’s what I finished:

Rental House ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Errands & Espionage ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Shop on Blossom Street ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am currently reading Needled to Death.
You can order my November reads through Bookshop.org to add them to your bookshelf or TBR pile. Every purchase gives back to local bookstores and contributes to my Wool Work for Yarn Fund. Win-win!
November was productive, cozy and kicked off the holiday season. I can’t wait to see what December brings, but I suspect it’s more knitting, reading and definitely more knitting obsessions. 🧶✨
