Earflap hat...
to match the previous baby sweater I posted.

I'm on a roll folks... 

can't stop knitting mini things...

and this is why...

ps. it's a boy!

First,

Thanks to everyone who volunteered to test knit!!!!

I was so excited and shocked by all the responses! 

I'll take all the help I can get. So, if you are interested and just 

haven't had the chance to email... don't be shy!

Look! Another new baby sweater!

Working on a new pattern... a request from Liv Lu. I'm liking this so much I think I'm going to make this for myself too!

I also finished some cute red fingerless mitts. I'll share that pattern as soon as I nab some photos. They were miss lu's valentine present. Did any of you make any valentine gifts?

fall is my fav!

And this (autumn leaves lace stole) is the the perfect fall project to encompass all the reasons' why!

• beautiful yarn in the perfect shade of turning leaves.

• simple, stunning lace leaf pattern. 

 •light weight but still warm for chilly sunny fall days.

I've been away from the blog for about a week and I missed it! Hope you all are doing well and enjoying every minute of this fabulous October. I sure am! And in personal knitting news... I finished the baby "grandpa" sweater and I just love it!!! I need to nab some buttons or toggles and then it's done. I'll share finished project pics soon.

OK. now go outside and grab 3 of your favorite leaves and put them on your coffee table or dining room table to enjoy inside... they won;t be around much longer so go give'm a hug!

sick? yes. but still making progress.

current pattern progress.

This is going to be a kiddo sweater/jacket and will end up working with that Day of the Dead illustration I posted yesterday. 

I'm about half way done... and happy to report, so far so good. (Other than the ripping that had to take place on the bottom edging of the sweater earlier today. But I fixed that with little to no tears!)

I'll post some better pics tomorrow, ones that aren't so sneaky and nondescript.

I wish you all a happy relaxing Thursday night 

followed by a productive, sunny Friday.

cheers!
