25 Years
Virtually no knitting news to talk about today – it was our anniversary! 25 years with this guy. It’s been an interesting time so far – looking forward to 25 more 🙂
Sock It To Me Monday
The Haunted socks are moving along. I have maybe an inch and a half to do on the feet, then the heels, then on up the legs until I run out of yarn or get bored with them 🙂 Even though they did not turn out to be self-striping, I do like the slanted stripe/color… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
Yet Another Cowl
I got a start on my Broom Riding Cowl today! The blue yarn is Gedifra Metal Tweed in the romantically named color 757. It has strand of black fuzz and a strand of subtle sparkle spun into it that gives it a really lovely effect 🙂 The silver yarn is left over from my Arachne… Continue reading Yet Another Cowl
Friday FO: Bat Cowl
My Bat! cowl is done 🙂 The yarn is DK weight from Old Crow ArtYarn in the What We Do In The Shadows colorway. The cowl isn’t done to a pattern. The little bats are a bobble and some light cabling. I lifted the motif from the (Ravelry link) Fangtastic sock pattern and just placed… Continue reading Friday FO: Bat Cowl

The last thing I tried is an i-cord bindoff with a different but coordinating purple yarn that looks halfway… Continue reading Wednesday WIP: Going Batty
Sock It To Me Monday: Haunted Socks
Making good progress on my Halloween socks – I am about halfway up my feet. One sad thing – I thought this yarn was self-striping. No such luck! It just kind of looked that way initially. Now that I am up to my final stitch count to fit my feet, it turns out they are… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday: Haunted Socks
Haunted Handwarmers Done!
After taking an unreasonably long time to knit, considering they are fingerless gloves, the Haunted Handwarmers are done! The pattern and yarn are from Jimmy Beans, and were a Fright Club option. You can definitely see where the rows ended. Maybe it’s because they’re haunted? Or more likely because I cannot seem to get it… Continue reading Haunted Handwarmers Done!

Ravelry link to the pattern is here. Also FYI – the designer is hosting a KAL later this month, and many dyers are doing little mini-skein sets to use for it. Also, everyone involved is giving portions of their sales to various charities. You’re welcome.
Stash Enhancement Saturday
I believe I mentioned having gone a little crazy with the Halloween yarn. Well, a lot of that has been coming in finally, making for some pretty happy mail days 🙂 This is a mini set from Ms. Monster Creations that came with the nifty little bag from the Ginger Ewe. I really liked this… Continue reading Stash Enhancement Saturday
