Falling for Ewe with Eye Candy

I'll combine 2 posts, first I'll answer my Falling For Ewe Question of the Week #4.. just a tad late 8)

What do you plan on dressing up as for Halloween? If you are not dressing up, what will your kids be?

This year all the family is dressing up, my hubby hasn't decided on what he'll be, but I think he should be dressed up as a Army Drill Sgt., he sure can be commanding.. that's my taunting nickname for him when he's getting under my skin *-). My daughter will be a Hobo, which means she can just dress like any other day (joking), she dresses nice, but you know, she's a teen and in that stage of really defining her style. She looks so pretty when she puts her outfits together. Sadly my son will probably only be wearing some freaky mask, as he currently has braces, and doesn't want to do any "Trick O' Treating" because he can't eat candy. Lastly for me, I'm knitting me something special, which I'll show soon.. for now, it's a secret *-) I usually dress up as a Witch, this year I'll be making a change.

And now for the Eye Candy...just in time for Friday!

I received another one of Woolgirl's fab kits "Woodstock". It's so cool! It has all kinds of nostalgic candy from the 60's era, before I was thought of 8) The Teeny Weeny Woodstock stitch marker, is so damn cute, and the little knitting bag is my fave! I love knitting bags!

I was browsing some Etsy stores, and came across Butterfly Girl Designs, and OMG! She has the most luscious fiber! and Spindles might I add! I'll need to score me some! I couldn't resist the Monarch fiber, I bought 3.3 oz. and it is I tell you, the softest fiber. I'm just totally in love with it. I swear I sat and petted it when I first got the shipment.

There are three layers in these batts: black superwash merino, orange/yellow variegated bamboo and an orange superwash merino
