Any guesses as to what that pink stuff is that is in drifts allover our downtown? It lands on the cars and in my hair and shuffles in with me from outside.
In the top picture, all of the pinkish stuff you can see all the way down the sidewalk is this stuff.
Hint? It’s still harvest time in Iowa.
More later — Halloween costume pictures.

With a Capital D.
I’m not brave enough to try the Candy Corn flavored Hershey Kisses, but omigosh, I do love me some regular ole Kisses.
Somebody better come visit me and eat some of them, otherwise I’ll eat the whole bag by myself. Before noon.
On mine it would say:
Does not follow directions well.
I was happily knitting away on my sweater and thinking about the instructions and thinking about what I was doing.
And realized I had messed up. Again.
I groaned out loud and Mark said “How much do you have to rip out now?”
(The boys report cards came home today, both of THEIR report cards were just fine.)
Many moons ago, Wednesdays were always the day that we posted about our WIPs on our blogs. I thought I’d revive the tradition and post about what’s been under the sewing machine or on the knitting needles this week.
Quilt Blocks that are in progress: the double nine patch is a sample for a class on Saturday.
Knitting detail: you can sort of see the definition of the ribbing starting to show just above the needle. The yarn is so yummy, it is one of the heathers and has some flecks of other colors in it:
Customer quilting:
So what Works In Progress have you been working on this week?

About a month ago I was complaining about how cold my hands were (already). Things warmed up a bit, and I guess I got used to the cooler temps, because my hands hadn’t been quite so chilled. Until this week.
Brrr.
But now! Look at what was waiting for me when I got to the shop this morning!!!
The knitting fairy (aka Mom) has been leaving me things a lot lately. These wool fingerless mittens are purely awesome. I’m wearing them as I type! And can’t wait to show them off to everyone who comes into the shop today!
edited to add: if you are on Ravelry, the pattern is available as a free download, it’s called Cascade 220 Fingerless Mitts.
