Happy Halloween

As a kid, I was the one who dumped out her trick-or-treat sack on the living room floor, sorted through her candy, and admired her loot as she enjoyed a chocolate or two before bed. Now, as a grown-up, I find myself doing the same thing on this Halloween afternoon, but this time with lots of yarny-loot:




The husband and I ventured up to Hartford for Stitches East 2010 this morning -- talk about a kid in a candy store (I am talking about myself, of course, not my husband). This was my first time at Stitches and I had a blast browsing through all the booths. Next year I definitely want to spend more time there and even take a class or two.

Hope everyone has a safe & Happy Halloween!

FO Friday

I finished this a couple nights ago. Tomorrow it will have a real photo shoot, but I couldn't wait to share, so please don't mind the camera phone photo.

Wordless Wednesday - less than 80 knitting days left until Christmas!

October already?!

It has been another busy year around here and the blog has once again taken the backseat. Do I sound like a broken record??

I have been doing quite a bit of knitting in the midst of other things going on -- and even started my own Etsy shop. My aunt was going to host a craft fair this coming weekend, so I have been knitting away on mini ornaments to sell. Unfortunately the fair has been postponed, but I have started to list the items on Etsy instead.

I am still working out the kinks, so please bear with me while I get started.

Thanks!
