Halloween socks

I looked in my sock drawer the other day and realized I had no Halloween socks. So out came the orange and black. I tried a round heel this time.







As I was looking at my socks I came across the slippers my grandmother made 30 years ago. I made a pair, but still need to spruce them up a bit.













I also made a bag. It started out a scarf, but it just needed to be a bag ;)

I did start the pattern over, with a different yarn. Maybe it'll make it into a scarf. We'll see.



I made some wash cloths and hand towels with borders, for my mother.

I got a hot pad/dishcloth done yesterday. I like them on the small side, so it didn't take long.
Still using the yarn from my stock pile.
It's starting to go down in size as my Christmas gifts bag over flows yahoo :)





My son gave me this yellow rose : )

A warm winter

I've been reading reports of how this winter should be a colder one. Well I for one froze all last winter. I was not looking forward to the up and fast coming winter. Already the garden is showing signs of cold weather. :(
My parents got us the most wonderful gift. They arrived last evening. http://www.edenpurestore.com/ A big one and a small one as well. We will be so much warmer this year. WooHoo
