Day 22: Thanksgiving Prep

Apron: Kitchen Couture Apron by Jordana Paige
Sweater: Target
Jeans: Express

Today has been nothing but a day of cooking. This is my sister and brother-in-law’s first year to host (such grownups!). My sister asked that I come before Thursday to help her out. My parents and grandparents will of course be bringing dishes, but I had no idea we’d be responsible for so much. There’s so much pressure!!

I’m responsible for appetizers. Every year I make little turkey-shaped crackers. I also made some brie and cranberry tartlets and will be chopping up a veggie platter in the morning. Today we got Tom the Turkey prepped, made the apple pie, prepped the pumpkin pie, made the stock and got everything ready for tomorrow. With all this cooking, the only logical knitwear for the day was to wear my Kitchen Couture Apron. If you click on the link above, you’ll get a pdf version of the pattern.

JP Rerun on DIY Network

Two years ago I was a guest on Knitty Gritty. The episode aired a couple times on HGTV and now it’s going be on DIY Network. If you don’t get HGTV, but do get DIY, then it’ll be new to you. It’s episode 703, Kitchen Couture. The website says January 7th on one page and January 8th on another. I think January 8th is the correct date. It airs at 5am so set your DVR. Here’s the pattern.

My Knitty Gritty episode is re-airing this Friday, January 25th at 7:00am on HGTV. So if you missed it last April, set your recorder. You can read about the filming of the show here. Here’s the link the apron pattern and a link to Starsky, the pattern we discuss at the end of the show. Also on the set was Spring Fling (the purple sweater on the left side of the demo table) and the orange asymetrical tank behind the Knitsters was published in Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 2004, pattern #4.

For those of you searching, the pattern for the apron from Knitty Gritty is here. The white sweater that was shown at the end of the show is Starsky from Knitty.com. It’s also available in kid sizes. A couple of my other designs were on the set as well Spring Fling (the purple sweater on the left side of the demo table) and the orange asymetrical tank behind the Knitsters was published in Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 2004, pattern #4. And of course, all the bags on the set are available at JordanaPaige.com. The grape satchel is currently out of stock, but it can be pre-ordered.

Today’s the day! Welcome to all the Knitty Gritty watchers. Watching myself on TV this morning was very weird. But, I’m happy with how the show came out. I’m even more happy they didn’t use the fake laughing Vickie, the Knitsters and I had to do at the end.

The winners of the drawing have been contacted, so check your email to see if you’ve won. I’ll post names here once I’ve received replies from the winners.

Thank you to everyone who participated in my celebration!
