Welcome to November

Baby Surprise!

The Baby Surprise Jacket is coming along, even with a major frog because I didn't pay attention to the decreases. I must admit that, as ingenious as this design is, garter stitch is boring! It is not my thing at all! I'm looking forward to a new project. At least I can honestly say that I have made this classic. I had to get going on this quickly because we all know that babies don't stay the same size for long!

Whoa! Did we blow through Halloween? I bought what I thought was way too much candy, but the weather was perfect and the kids were out in droves, so we ran out (yea for no tempting leftovers!).

I made these ghost shaped Oreo balls for a soccer dinner for DS. Most of them were consumed as the boys waited in line to serve themselves the main course. The kids at the end of the line walked up to an empty tray (oops!). I was glad that I had a small stash of ghosts that hadn't fit on the tray! And I am even more glad not to have leftovers of these!!

The boys weren't nearly as crazy about the Fingers, but neither was I. It's hard to compete with Oreos and cream cheese! I did bring leftovers home, but it wasn't long before I found an empty cookie box in the dirty dishes. DH loved 'em!

For now, it's time to think about turkey and holiday knitting!

BSJ is coming along nicely. I still haven't knit this classic, though I want to.

The finger cookies look so real! Perfectly creepy for Halloween.
