It's FALL!!!!   PAWS Terri: Gramps Cardigan- Kate Oates- I did a couple rows Mystic Square-by James Watts - nope Butterfly Wing Shawl- still plugging away. Nothing much to report on this. Gramma’s Medley Sweater- Tina Tse Knits. Mostly been knitting this. I’m about 10 inches into the body. Loving it so far.

Just have the cord left, which I am going to finish before we leave Tuesday (probably tonight), so that I can wear it. It is gorgeous - decided to make it a little bigger than the pattern is, due to my gauge, yarn, etc. Wanted it a little bigger on my head. The color of yarn I used turned out so beautiful (Lollipop - Knitpicks Chroma) Dino- Shelved Pumpkins - shelved until I’m back from Wakaan - I got a migraine the weekend I was going to go to Joann’s to get supplies   FO PAWS Terri: Random Hat-no pattern, cast on in one of my earliest handspun yarns. The handspun is a combo of two strands. One is a gray shetland and the other is made out of a bunch of rolags. It was really loosely plied, but worked well. It’s a cozy hat. Knit 88 sts 2x4 ribbing. Then sized up my needle and did a quick decrease at the top.   From Fluff to Stuff - I plied my Barbie pink that I spun from rolags. I adore it. I finished the full 8 ounces of the blue merino/silk Fibercats dyepots: I have dyed up some more colors for my Halloweenish project.
