Do you have guests coming to your home during the Thanksgiving and/or Christmas holidays?
I do. So I made up an information sheet with our WiFi password, home phone number, and address so if they need access to these things, they can find it quickly. In case of an emergency, the home phone number and street address is right there.
It fits in a 5 x 8 frame I got from the dollar store and sits on the nightstand in the guest bedroom.

Focusing on something other than itching, burning, and general discomfort is great pain therapy!
The Align Mitts are finished and on their way.
This was a fun pattern and used less than a ball of Knit Picks Stroll fingering weight yarn. This Duchess Heather is a rich, royal heathery purple. I probably used a bit more than half. (I so need a scale!)
The finished mitts look rather nondescript until on the hand. The ribbing adds a nice vertical detail. 
Since both mitts are the same (no difference between the left and right ones), it’s quite easy to get into the rhythm and finish them quickly.
My BFF picked out this Knit Picks Chroma Twist in the Confetti colorway for a Kindness Shawl that I offered to knit for her.
The yarn arrived last week so I immediately wound it into a ball (no small feat as it soon became a huge tangled mess!) and cast on.
This is how the colors are progressing at Row 40.
I’ll switch to circular needles once the stitch count grows and won’t fit comfortably on the straight ones.
PS The top-down-circular-yoke sweater is still in progress. Finished the main body and picked up the sleeve stitches. I never said I was a monogamous knitter.
I loved knitting the 1898 cap so I knit another one in shades of grey. Just because.
My BFF read about the cap and I offered to knit one for her if I could use yarn from my ever-expanding stash.
She is so not a grey person and picked the blue variegated one (second from the right).
As so another quick knit was born in three days.
The yarn is Cascade 220 Paints and I love the color BUT it pools terribly for this needle size and stitch count. Pooling means that the colors group together in pools rather than float nicely around the item. Sometimes it’s a good thing and sometimes not. I wanted the colors play together and not be antisocial and cling together.
The headband is knit first and I really liked the way the colors spread but then when I began the crown part, I was not too happy with the way they didn’t as you can see below. If that would have happened on the front instead of the back, it would have been fine.
I ripped the crown apart and tried to knit with both ends to get rid of the pooling but I was not successful. I had a similar solid light blue in my stash so I randomly knit a row here and there to break it up.
Colorful? 
Yes! Win-win!
