Happy Halloween and Goodbye Daylight Savings Time

I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween and enjoyed the 'extra' hour we got from saying goodbye to Daylight Savings Time!

Okay, on to the knitting.....just about all my time was spent knitting on my Socks on a Plane socks for Loopy Academy Semester 3.

And I managed to finish them!

Paige knows the above socks are for her (she does not like a high foot on her socks) and she is very appreciative...but she has been bugging me to make her a pair of BLACK socks....we all know how much fun it is to knit with black!  So, I got them started....

Other than that....I worked a little on my pillow for Loopy Academy, but not enough to take a picture...maybe next week.

This Friday the newest Stephen West Mystery KAL called The Doodler starts....and Darlene and I are making the exact same one...same colors....I am pretty excited.  She even made us matching bag sets....She is the bestest best friend ever!  Thank you Darlene.....

I got one more bag set from her....I found this material from outside USA and asked her to 'try it'....turns out it is not a very good quality material, so she will not be selling it...but I thought it was pretty cute....too bad the material is not good.

Do you remember last week I was telling you about the yarn from Berry Colorful Yarnings?  It is called Busted Rainbow and it came in...I love it!

I have even wound it already!

Some of my yarn  that I have ordered from Desert Vista Dyeworks came in...the colorways are:  ZomLlamas in Pajamas, Dia De Los Meurtos, another ZomLlamas in Pajamas for Darlene, and London in a Bag.

My last stash enhancement is a book called "Wip-o-pedia".....yup, a place to put all my WIPS in!  I really wish I had thought of this.....Now, I know you guys are wondering how many I got to hold all my eleventy billion WIPS.....I may never tell....LOL!

Well, that is all I have....Here are some Halloween fun pics.....all the candy I bought to have only my grands and 3 other kids come by....

Picture of (from left to right) Mia (Celeste and Cataleya's cousin), Celeste, Yvette, and then in front is Cataleya:

And, by Sunday around 6 pm....someone was just super tired....mom showed up shortly after this picture!

I stole these next two pictures from lovely LSSK ladies....thank you Billie Rae and BJ!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Monday Monday.....

Oh how I wish it was Friday already.  Monday is my least favorite day of the week (unless I have it off of course).  But here we are.....

What have I been up to?  Well, I finished You're Beautiful....Yahoo!!!  I even blocked it!

I got a better picture of my shrug.....

Oh, I also finished Paige's bed socks....Yes, one looks a little bigger than the other, but that is only because I tried one on and not the other....so once she puts them both on, she will be fine.  She does love them!  I still need to make some for Antonio.

Then....I really should have been working on Camp Loopy #2 pattern (Rosen Bridge) but I got this wild hair on Friday to cast on for Ingot.  It is a big loose drapey cowl....and the Yarn that Darlene got for me in Virginia is perfect for it!  It is Neighborhood Fiber Co Yarn...in the Del Ray colorway...it is perfect!

Here it is in process:

Here it is finished....I think I will block it to make it stretch nice and long!

That is it on the knitting front...but I have a few stash enhancements.....First, my friend Danna started dyeing yarn...you should check out her shop Knit Knerd Yarn.  She came over to SNB on Saturday and I bought this skein from her.....no, not my typical colors, but I want to make some green and black socks!

Also, Camp Loopy #3 was announced last week....so I ordered yarn for the Ashworth Scarf...Darlene and I are going to make it in BLACK...yes, BLACK...we are going to be complaining the whole time because black is so hard to see....but we are going to love the finished product (I also made it to London, England in the Loopy Ewe rewards):

Now....Drum Roll Please.......My DyakCraft Northern Light Nickel needles came in.....I cannot wait to use these puppies.  I will probably put my Rosen Bridge on them, and of course start Camp #3 with them once it is time to start camp.

Well, that is all I have.....I watched Cateleya on Saturday....Celeste went to the coast with her other Grandma, so Cateleya had some Oma time.  I love her curls.....she is such a cutie.

Then, Antonio was with his Great Grandma on his dad's side, and he got a fever...so they brought him to my house Saturday afternoon....poor guy seemed miserable at first......

But then, after some medicine, he ate a little, and eventually got back to himself...but he is still sick...he woke up with 101 fever this morning, so my mom is watching him today.

I will be taking him to the doctor tomorrow.

Well, that is all I have........Happy Happy Happy Knitting everyone!
