Good Things

I received my Franken Socks kit from Woolgirl last week, and it had all kinds of goodies and sqooshy yarn!

Look at all those goodies, and do you see that Frankenstein stitch marker made by Wee Ones? Totally cute. The yarn colors are cool and perfect for Franken Socks. It's 1 skein of Mis Babs Superwash Merino 100% wool, hand-painted yarn in colorway "Yummy" with accompanying color for the heel, 133 yds.

Here's a few more pics of the goodies:

Another package, though it was a surprise, was my "Love Bites 2" Swap package received from my secret swapper, Mollie Bug on Ravelry.

She included the cutest "Edward" Amigurumi pattern! I gotta make this guy, then I'll have Edward all to myself *-) She also included local yarn from her area, Virginia, from Indy-dyer David Simpson. It is just gorgeous! 490 yards of 100% Kona Superwash Merino in Fingering weight, colorway "Burress".

And look at this Bella hat, so pretty! And I love the black tweed color, fits perfect and definitely a knit to wear. I faved this on Ravelry not long ago, and she found my fave to make. I'm still gona make one, but I just love hers.

Phew, so much good stuff!!! A big thank you to Mollie Bug!

Ok a new venture I'm taking on lately, knitting jewelry. I'm trying recreate a gorgeous bracelet I received from Gherkin on Ravelry. So far, so good, check out my progress:

Knitted Bracelet

It doesn't look like much yet, but when I'm done I'll form the beads to look sit nice and then add the clasp to close it. See the original, to the right?

I have so much more to share in the coming days, I'm now in high-gear for swaps, KALs, Fall knitting and yes, GIFT knitting 8)

Hope everything is going spooky well!
