October already?



Ta and da! That's the first thing that comes to my head when I see this pic of Kaz modeling her pink legwarmers. Last week her school gave the kids the option to wear pink shirts and accessories for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Believe it or not, this is a toned down version of all the pink she originally wanted to wear.

(Disclaimer- all of the pics on today's blog were taken at the last possible second with my phone. We rise and shine early and I only have a few moments of morning light to snap pics before the bus arrives.)

I knit the legwarmers 2 at a time magic loop in mystery acrylic. She loves them and wants a pair in standard uniform colors for everyday use. 



Oh these fingerless mitts were so much fun to make! The pattern is perfect for using up bits and pieces of yarn and playing with fun color combinations.



These are a birthday gift for our friend Ella. Once a certain someone woke up this morning and saw them, she was clamoring for a pair of her own. I made these in only an hour and a half, so easy and sweet!


"Why can't I have these mom? You can make Ella another pair!"


Crafty Mart (Facebook link) is again just around the corner, so I've gotten a jump on hat making. I sold out of owl hats by noon last time, so my goal is to make one a day until the show.


I started my Christmas gift making this week too. This is for my crazy Aunt JoAnn.
