The skies were overcast and the pumpkin-covered ground was moist but that didn't dampen our spirits as we rummaged for bargins at the local Annual Barn Sale.
It's a good job that we drove there in Spud as we needed the cargo area to take home a rocking chair, (to rock while I knit), wicker baskets, (to sit by the chair and store yarn/projects), a sewing box made from an old barrel, (to hold drinks/snacks while I sit, rock and knit), as well as a tonne of other goodies that are all still in boxes....
Once our acquisitions were safely stowed away, Christo and I had time for a little clowning around...
The comedy scarecrows were all wrapped up to protect them from the threat of precipitation, which, for me at least, made them appear even more sinister!
All this fall frolicking hasn't been getting in the way of my knitting. Here are a couple of FO's that I knitted for Annie's.
Ribbons Baby Blanket made in the silky Be Sweet Bamboo:
The Nomad Hat Scarf from this month's Interweave Knits. I worked this up in the dreamy Misti Alpaca.
Loved it so much that I'm doing another one for me in green.
(Either I made the same mistake twice or the increases in this pattern are incorrect. I'll investigate this further and let you know the outcome. It's very possible that I am the one in the wrong as I was talking when working these sections on both hats!!)
In other, (non-illustrated), news... I've got a new job, bought a car and am a bone fide member of the fabulous Ravelry! (find me at armyofknitters) All exciting stuff for little me! More info and pics to follow when I've got a minute.
Happy pumpkin carving! ;o)
