Halloween 2012

Really, what is there to say about Halloween?  There were tricks, there were treats....Thank goodness it is over.  Audrey has been soooooooooo excited about "Halloween's birthday party."  We went trick-or-treating in the early evening with our neighbor, said hello to neighbors we hadn't seen since last year, saw a werewolf (to which Audrey said, with her eyes as big a dinner plates, "Woh!"), and were home in time for a hot, crockpot dinner.  So here are the only two semi in-focus pictures of the kids.  Have a good day, friends!

Sandy Waves

We are only being brushed by Sandy's long fingers, and are thinking of those who's lives and homes are in her path.

Her winds are blowing up choppy waves here.  The Californian in me says "Pshaw, this is nothing."  But after living on Lake Michigan for 5 year, I know this is a rare sight.  Even more unusual is the sound.  How I miss the crash and roll of ocean waves.

I'm between knitting projects at the moment and have been pouring over Raverly for inspiration.  I'm in the mood for a shawl or scarf.  These are in my favorites now:

This, in cooler tones

Ruffles in green maybe?

This one, just the way it is.

Although this hat would be quick and warm too.

I picked up a patter for a Henley pullover for Craig at my LYS.  Not sure what I was thinking since it will be a lot of work with uncertain outcome.  Craig said he'd be happy with slippers.

Happy Halloween, I'll post pictures of the kids tomorrow!

Hum Baby

Goooo Giants!!!!!!!
