Happy Halloween!

It's my favorite time of the year!  We attended a party last night and sat around a fire and had good scary food!  Saw my co-workers in great costumes!  Hope to share an image of that later today - we are a goofy bunch!

I have started a knitting stash....YIKES!  It's a bit more challenge to purchase yarn, you really need to ensure you pick it for a specific project to get enough.  I have started my first dishcloth, I'm almost done - this picture is at the half way point - I'm further a long now:
And my new stash.  First picture is for my first scarf.  It's called Molly's Scarf.
And this yarn is was on clearance and I really want some fingerless gloves and maybe a matching scarf or hat...I think I'm going to call Theresa at Forget Me Knot to see if there is 2 more left:
I want to get two dishcloths out of the way and then I'll start my scarf!  I'm soo excited!

Oh and please add me if you are on Raverly.com - I'm quiltingpirate.

I think I'm going to adjust my name now .....the knitting & quilting pirate?  :)

  3. You did find some yummy yarns! I've made several of those dishcloths and love them. I've also used the pattern to make a baby blanket.

  4. Naaaaa...
    You don't need to adjust your name, 'cause if you do then I'll have to do so and I like being "The Quilter". There's a wonderful pattern on knitty.com for fingerless mitts called fetching. When you get a bit further along these are good because they have a bit of cables and picking up stitches to add the thumb.
