friday's a comin'

i know this is a bit overdue but here's a picture of me with some of my coworkers from halloween. i was part of a 60s girl group with two of my friends. i didn't actually put the thing together but i did get the wear my friend's mom's wig from the actual 60s. and i never wear skirts, so that was sort of a costume in itself. i have the plaid skirt on, in case ou were wondering. my other friends came as god's gift to women and marilyn monroe. oh and diana as a pirate. i love pirates.


now look at the scary sight that waited for us on monday morning:


ewwwwwww! those are some seriously nasty pumpkins. can you see how their eyes filled with black mold? it was so disgusting. why do pumpkins mold so fast? and they were squishy and wet. note to self- throw pumpkins away before going away for the weekend.

lately i haven't been feeling the love for the big knit projects. still working on the atacama sweater but i needed a break from the yarn and pattern so i decided to start something small. here's my work so far on the warm ass hat pattern. it's the first time i've tried double knitting and it's really fun. it's so cool how you get double sided fabric. i've been watching copious amounts of tv this week and knitting on this hat.




it's been nice to work on something small between working on my sweater. i'll probably buckle down this weekend knit on the sweater. i also broke the yarn diet just a bit so i could buy yarn to make something from this:


i received my lovely booklet from jess hutch this week. i love her little knitted toys and was so excited when i heard she was going to be selling some of the patterns. i totally want to make henry the bear, the robot and that little octopus looking guy. so i broke and bought a few skeins of lamb's pride worsted to make them. i love lp yarn and it's cool these little guys use it. so if you have any lamb's pride scraps you need to get rid of, you know who to call. :) i highly recommend getting the booklet if you like really cool toy patterns. they're just adorable.

and thank goodness tomorrow is friday. one more day to go. have a great weekend!
