I Cannot Help Myself with Halloween

By -

I am sorry; I realize this is a knitblog.  I cannot help myself. I love Halloween and Fall.  You just have to put up with more images from my immediate neighborhood.  The new people in a big new house down the road a piece, (doesn't that sound like I live in the country...I don't.  I live in the suburbs. ....)  made their big covered porch spooky.  I LOVE Their zombie at the front door.  

 I'm all about imagination....so I have pumpkins and my 2 big crows on my front porch.  I also put orange lights in the top window of the house.....

 If you are all about imagination you can imagine the koigu socks I cast on last night.  I'm imagining I can work an afterthought heel for the first time in my life.  You get kind of cocky after you go motorcycle riding ......
imagine that...

An afterthought heel sounds scary...perfect for Halloween, I must say. You and Nancy, you motorcycle mommas, are getting cocky alright! LOL.

I'm waiting to hear how well it goes.

I love looking at the Halloween decoration photos and all the decorations in our neighborhood and others, but for me...ho-hum! I just can't get into Halloween, but when Christmas comes there will be glitter hanging for every possible surface and Christmas music playing all day!! People get really tired of my Ho-Ho-Hos!!

Good luck with the afterthought heel. I tried it and it was not difficult but it didn't fit right on me. Hope you post some pictures of your socks!

Love the pictures. It's your blog. Post whatever you want on it and don't worry about it.

I've found some of what I considered the most boring posts on my blog get the most comments. Never have figured that out, but it encourages me to just keep being me.

The scariest thing in your post is the afterthought heel. I've never attempted one, just read about how to do it and been too scared to try. Please report.

You go ahead and post pictures about anything and I know I am going to enjoy them!

I have never had a desire to do an afterthought heel. But please keep us posted on the progress of the socks and heel adventure.

Happy Halloween!
BOO!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
