I am hurriedly trying to finish all of my October projects so I can start new ones on Monday.

I did find beads to go with my Hazel Knits yarn to participate in the Hazel Knits group bead KAL for November.

Update

I have been busy the last few weeks. There has been so many things going on with school for the kids, and projects. I have even started Christmas projects. But I will keep those under wraps for now.

There has been much Hazel Knits fun going on. I got the October shipment. It is beautiful. Coleus, the reddish one, and Meadow, the green one.



And I have finished the Hazel Knits group's Mystery sock for Sept/Oct. I used the Surf colorway.



There is another Mystery going on over at Through The Loops. I have 4 clues completed on that.



After looking at her designs I found another one to knit for my daughter. It is called Lonicera



I have also been working on a pair of socks from Hunter Hammersen. She is the designer for October in the Sock Knitters Anonymous group on Ravelry. The pattern is called Greenhorn.



And I got together with some of my friends from Sock Club. We have been sewing since there was not Sock Club for the month of October. We all made these bags:





I think that is all for now. I do have a big list of things to do for November already.

And now for something different

One of my LYSs closed a few weeks ago. I have been meeting there the first and third Saturday for Sock Club for a year and a half. So some of us got together the first Saturday of October to sew. I know, crazy. I used to do it all the time. Now it is pretty rare.

This is what we worked on:



It is the Margot bag from Lazy Girl Designs. I found the handles at Sew Ezy in Sharonville, Ohio. I am really happy with the way it turned out. I needed a new fall bag.

Finishing Weekend

I finished two pairs of socks this weekend. One of which had been languishing from June.

Here they are.
Laeticia from TwistCollective



And Ampersand from Kirsten Kapur of Through the Loops




I am going to try to get two more socks completed before October. I am about half way through one that I started last night. So, it might be doable.

The end of Summer

Today is the 21st of September and the last day of summer. To say goodbye to summer I thought I would share some pictures.

A beautiful summer day.


Lovelies from my garden.






And here are my latest knitting accomplishments.
Half of my Ampersands for my daughter



And the Lock Ness Monster



Half of my Test knit for LauraJ called Grass Ripples. The yarn is Hazel knits Artisan in Spice.



I have been working on a few stealth projects. I will be able to tell you about in November and January.

Busy, Busy, Busy

I thought thinks would calm down after school started. Clearly, that is not the case. There are meet the teacher nights and club meetings along with all of the kids regular activities.

Plus, for most of August I was working on a stealth project. I am almost finished with that. I did have a little time to work on some knitting.

I finished the Swedish Fish socks for my son.



As well as a small shawl, Meliae by Melissa Goodale. It is made out of one skein of Hazel Knits Artisan sock yarn in Leaf.



I have started a test knit for LaruaJ on Ravelry. It is a truly beautiful pattern. I will probably do another shawl or two for Christmas knitting. And maybe some Cowls, fingerless glove etc.
I better get busy.
