I've been busy.....

These are two chemo hats that I made for a friend who has lost her hair.  The blue one was a little too big out of Karabella Aurora 8 so I downsized the needles and the second red one came out better.  I don't remember where we got the pattern but I think it was on Ravelry - just search "Chemo Hats".

This is Dan's annual hat.  He started it but never finished it - so I did.  I like the way the top is finished on this hat.  It's divided into four sections.

This pattern we found by Jared Flood, called Turn a Square.  I think he does a great job on patterns.  You can find him on his blog "brooklyn tweed" or Ravelry.

This is a cute hat pattern I got free on the internet.  I made this one for Ellie out of my handspun and some Karabella.  It is knit as a bulky so I stranded my handspun with the Karabella to get the guage.  She love the yarn when I was spinning it and asked if I would make her a hat, so I did, of course.  The pattern is by Kirsten Kapur called Thorpe and I think it was on either Ralvery or Knitty-it was FREE.  Knit up very quickly

HOLLOWEEN 2010

Ellie as Tinkerbell

Logan as Buzz Lightyear

Josh as "Cat in the Hat"

The weather was perfect for Holloween and they had a fabulous time.

I have also been sewing polar fleece hats and scarves for the kiddos.  It is soft and very fast to make.  The pattern was online - http://www.sewing.org/

I have also been reading a great deal.  I finished the "Girl with the Dragon Tatoo" trilogy, the Moveable Feast by Hemingway, listened to a couple non-descript books on tape and a few movies.   My new favorite on PBS is Sherlock Holmes - you can catch it on your computer if you miss it on TV.  It's great fun with a couple young guys.

Bungee knitting was bursting at the seams last Saturday.  We had 10 women knitting, visiting and eating at Curran's last saturday.  This means, Fall has arrived.  I love to be able to join them because they are all knitting something different.  Next one will meet on Nov. 13 1-4 pm.  This is very flexible - you can join us anytime and stay as long as you can. 

Well, I hope everyone is enjoying the Fall and getting some knitting done.
