This and that

Jim and I helped Ben with some yard work.  His maple tree is just lovely and I had to hug it.

Halloween night

We wore our costumes from the Scooby Doo themed Cub Scout Camporee.  Albert and Alberta.

Jody's bunny was a cute attraction to the booth at the Cambridge Fiber Fair in October.
He says, "Spin more cotton."

I was spinning some kitchen sink fiber from Old Man
Wool Farm and while sitting on a felted karakul wool seat cover that Linda made.

The fabric after washing, steaming, and brushing.
I have to do a muslin mock up of the wrap skirt before cutting into this!

FO Friday

I whipped up another sample for the Pick a Halloween Project class.  This time it is a washcloth.  Plymouth Cleo was a good price point and choice for the project.  I usually prefer to work from a chart, but the written instructions for the Halloween Skull Dishcloth were clear and easy-to-follow.

I love Pixlr-O-Matic

The dishcloth is worked in garter stitch, YOs, skp, and k2tog--super easy!

When witches go riding,
And black cats are seen,
The moon laughs and whispers,
'Tis near Halloween.
