Red Scarf

Another scarf underway for myself. It's true it's 80 degrees right now, but I will be ready when a cold front moves through. This may just be my favorite. Love the deep red color.

Little Stockings

It's that time of year again! My favorite time. Lots of holiday crafting and the magic of giving to loved ones. This little collection of tree ornaments is getting shipped out to my mom this week. The pattern can be found on my favorite crochet blog: http://www.lemondedesucrette.com/
She has such wonderful colorful crocheted items.

Granny Squares

Little Woman and I have started a joint project. We have begun a granny square afghan. We will both work on the blocks and in the end stitch them up together into one blanket. This makes the project attainable for her, while giving us a project to share and bond over. We are making a seasonal colored afghan. We will use up colors as each holiday comes and goes. It will be like a crazy quilt with all different colored blocks. Since Halloween has just come and gone we are starting there. Here are our Halloween blocks. These are the colors we had used to make our pumpkins. When the blanket is finished we will be able to look back and remember each yarn and the wonderful crafting we did together with it; a memory blanket. This afghan is going to be finished with white and the next one we do will be a brown or black and will be for the Little Boy.

Winter Scarf

Although it is 80 degrees here and November I am knitting a scarf. Fall just says to me scarves! I can't wait until January or so to be able to wear it. It's for me, and a deep purple color. I'm in love with the color and have to admit Little Bit got the yarn for her and I snagged it out of the drawer. I will have to get her another skein at some point. I am making quick progress and should be finished sometime this week.
