Sandi: I just read the Happy Thanksgiving thank you. I needed that message the ones that followed your thread today. Home with sinus infection, feeling sorry for myself, but I know there are those worse off, as I have been in the past.

I did spend the time home alone to print out some easy Christmas decorations. After the meds kick in, I will be able to concentrate again and knit and have fun decorating some easy items.

Thank you again for your refreshing advice to thank all our knitting friends and relatives.

I'm American but I live in Austria with my family and instead of not celebrating Thanksgiving, we've imported it. My Austrian husband and sister-in-law now look forward to the family time around the table even more than my brother, parents and I, if that's possible... and of course to the special, once-a-year feast. But our favorite part in going round and listing all the things, events and people we're thankful for, and that's the best part of the day.

Thanks so much for your fun, heartwarming blog, Sandi, and may your days be filled with joy and cozy family times as you settle in with your husband in a (relatively) new home!

Sandi,

Although I don't stop by very often, I do appreciate your posts. Thank YOU. This Thanksgiving was indeed good for us as our daughter came through some surgery well and we were able to be with her. Of course, to help with the waiting, I was knitting in the waiting room...another knitter stopped by and we not only encouraged each other on our relatives' health circumstances, but I was able to share a simple pattern for a bath mitt with her to help her take that next step from 'scarves, all the scarves...'. Knitters in this world are a kindly bunch. They not only care about textures, colors, and patterns, but about others as well.

Thanks for this column and a place where we can share.

Thanks for the reminder that there are many in the world who are alone...but hopefully a few of them have some heart warming, hand made item that reminds them that they are loved.

As we go into the next holiday season...'warm winter wishes' to you all!

Keep knitting. It DOES make a difference.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, Sandi! Even without turkey, it's always nice to stop a moment and reflect on things that we're thankful for. I've so enjoyed your blog.
