Happy October!

Can you believe it is already October?  I probably say that every month...but man, time does fly by sometimes!

I am going to start off with some Stash enhancements....look at these cute PJ bottoms....I love the little rectangular sheep!


I also bought some self striping yarn from Lilliput....Love these Halloween colors..the first one is called Trick or Treats and the second one is called Jack Russell - O'Lantern.



Then, my yarn from Desert Vista Dyeworks came in....the first is Zombody driving the school bus, and the second is Halloween Moon!  I really want to do "The Officially Unofficial Desert Vista Dyeworks Monthly Sock Club" next year....so I need to have 12 skeins of this yarn...these 2 put me to 6 skeins...I have 3 more on order which gets me to 9...so will still need 3 more some time within the next year.  :)



Then....being that Darlened LOVES knitting with black yarn (yes, this is sarcastic), we decided to make an Esjan in all Black....so that yarn came in...but I am not sure when we are casting on.

Oh, and I won some yarn from Expression Fiber Arts....my good friend, Shawa..who is KNIT4BEER on ravelry and social media, tagged me in this instagram giveaway and I won!  So, this red and blue yarn should be on its way to me.


I am also expecting my VIOLET Northern Lights needles to come in today.....I am super excited about these......isn't this color just so FABULOUS!?!?!


Okay, now on to the knitting.....I think I have mentioned that I am doing a pair of socks a month with my friends Melissa and Tami...well, a few other people in Darlene's Bags By Awesomegrannie group wanted to join...so we made an official thread here.....This month we are doing Hermoine's Everyday Socks...but you are not required to do a specific pattern each month....just knit with us :)





I also worked a bunch on my Esjan...I know it does not look much bigger, but trust me...there are a ton of stitches on that needle.



Then I needed to work on the Socks on a Plane socks for Loopy Academy:



That is all for the knitting...When Jaime and I went to Hot Rod night I met a girl that asked me about my knitting and I showed her a picture of the sweater I knit for Paige last year....Yeah, she asked me how much I would charge to make one.....Here is my favorite tin that just about sums up knitting for me :)


Well, that is it....I know, not too much....hopefully more this week (I think I say that every week).....Happy Happy Happy Knitting!!
