Larry is sporting his Dracula costume this year. Gilbert decided he wasn't wearing anything this year. dogs!Halloween was light this year. We only had a few ghouls and princesses. Lots of left over candy for the kiddo's here, who have outgrown the night. Not getting many treater's meant lots of knitting time.
"My So Called Scarf" is DONE! It was fun at the beginning, till the daughter wanted it long enough to wrap that funky way the
kids do it. Which meant three skeins and lots of knitting. BUT, its done!
It is a very pretty scarf. It is done on size 11 needles. When doing the pattern, you will notice it goes on an angle. it gets frustrating if you make a mistake and have to rip. Because of all the YO and increases you tend to lose stitches if you are not careful. It must be blocked when finished. I think it will be very warm on campus this winter and protect my babies beautiful face from the cold.
Now, that her neck is warm, her head must be too! That was what I worked on while waiting for the goblins.
This hat is from Vogue Knitting Fall 2009. It is a complicated cable pattern that moves semi fast. Lots of cables going different ways to create a beautiful finished project. I am using the yarn the pattern calls . It is very pretty and easy to work with. Makes a soft halo that will provide warmth for the wearer. Hopefully it will not make her ITCHY!!! The picture cannot and does not show the beauty of this pattern. If you like cables, this is a nice hat to make. I should have it finished this afternoon.
And finally, the daughter has a baby shower to attend and wanted mom to make that really cute hat she made in the spring. Oh and booties too!
The booties might get done. But the little hat, was too cute to not make again! This pattern was different from the last one and I like it better. It has the little cord on the top, which adds even more cuteness!
Well, here comes NOVEMBER and that means that in less than a month and a half it will be.... yeah better get those projects done!!! Here we go again!!! I love the stress of the holidays.
