halloween is my favorite time of year.

pumpkins, cold nights and warm blankets, leaves changing from green to red, the costumes...oh the costumes.

eight ladies and i made 2 disappearing 9-patch blocks. instead of rotating the corners, we switched them with the opposite blocks. the outcome is so much cooler. one of thee best quilt group project that i've worked on. and...with the left-overs from the fat quarters used for the blocks, a friend is going to make a doll to go with the scrappy doll quilt i made! there will be another post with the disappearing 9-patch.

seed stitch

i had made a green pullover bordered with garter stitch and decided for the next one to try out seed stitch. when i had started knitting, the seed stitch was my arch enemy. haha...probably had to do with the yarn and that i was barely learning how to knit.

washable wool from knitpicks.com

 

my little cousin's birthday was this past weekend and i was trying to think of a simple yet fun gift to give her. her ma had said she was into dora and minnie. i was thinking a crayon roll would be fun, but i wanted it big enough to hold a coloring book...and bam, this bag was born.

reversable, washable, and pockets big enough to hold a box of crayons and a coloring book. i was so excited with how well it turned out, i'm tempted to make more.

and another one...

here's another 2-t dress that's goign to the county fair

and ooooh! i love sock blockers!!! my socks look more like socks!!! and they too, are going to the fair.

which reminds me...need to make another gary...hahaha...and a yoshi!
