Thankful Thursdays

November 19, 2009 By Carole

We’ve covered the big stuf in the last 2 weeks of thankfulness posts. Family, job, home, pets. There’s still so much left to talk about, though!

mosaicf0c226a9a6b4cceab77c42452f2f7adcc3716589

This week I am thankful for:

1. My friends.  I certainly never thought I would make so many friends when I started this blog but that’s exactly what happened. And I have wonderful friends at work and at home, too. I have many and I am blessed.

2. My hobbies.  Knitting comes at the top of this list but I also love spinning and photography. I am thankful that I have the time and resources to devote to these hobbies.

3. The wonders of our modern world. Indoor plumbing and electricity. Email and iPods and cell phones. Aluminum foil and plastic wrap. Microwaves. All those little and not-so-little things that make my life better.

Expressing thanks for all these things makes me happy.

    I never thought my life would turn out so rich. God surprises us sometimes. I am deeply thankful also for my many blessings.

    Thankfully I’ve found your blog and enjoy the creative inspiration you provide each morning. Some folks like the Today Show or Good Morning America; I prefer CaroleKnits with my coffee.

    Jill said it exactly like I would have–coffee and Carole Knits..the perfect way to to start the day. Also thankful for a good game of “Bejeweled” on my IPOD….when everything else seems to tough to tackle at this moment!

    Another great, positive post! I’m going to have to work hard not to just copy your thankfulness 🙂 I have to agree with the other ladies … not much better than CaroleKnits with your morning coffee, unless perhaps it’d be getting together for coffee (or an adult beverage) with my favorite Carole!

    Great list! I really am thankful for hobbies, too (as well as the rest of your list). I can’t imagine how stressed out I’d be if I couldn’t express myself through knitting, sewing, etc.

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
