Halloween is getting closer, and I still haven’t finished up Ink Circle’s By the Full Moon. I am getting close though:
By the Full Moon by Ink Circles (WIP)
It is stitched on another piece of fabric from that sampler package I got from Ayrloom (through eBay), using DMC treads.
I’ve also been working on another pair of commissioned sock. These are Kai-Mai from Cookie A.’s fabulous book Sock Innovation

That’s them stretched on my homemade sock blockers. They do a surprisingly good job, but I should have made them just a hair larger. If you’d like to make your own, here’s the directions I used.
And, I have been able to fix the sleeve of my Top-Down Shoulder Warmer! I had to decrease from 72 stitches to 62! That’s pretty substantial, for those of you that don’t know much about knitting. Consider that I am getting approx. 19 stitches to 4″ (not quite guage, but not far enough off to account for the huge sleeve), I took out about 2″ from the sleeve size. Right now I’m working on the second sleeve, and then I can try it on to be sure the back isn’t too big. Wouldn’t that be funny?
And don’t forget: today is day 17 of Missy Ann and Annette’s 31 Days of Halloween giveaway. (Aren’t they super generous!) Head over to Annette’s to enter today’s draw.
I’d also like to say thank you so much, ladies, for all the comments lately. 🙂 I know I don’t get out there to comment very much, and I really do need to make more of an effort, but yes, I really am that shy.
