New Patterns

Kate Atherley has a new pattern called the Susana Capelet.

The capelet is worked in the round from the top down, using circular yoke shaping.

The pattern is available on Ravelry. 

Actually Kate has two new patterns.

This is the Gracias Capelet - pattern purchased on Ravelry.

Brian Smith has a new shawl pattern knit in fingering weight yarn. There are 3 colours in the shawl. One colour uses 2 skeins and you need one skein of each of the other two colours.

This kite shaped shawl uses two stitch patterns in a striking yarn. Stocking stitch with a garter row and grid stitch. Large enough to wrap yourself in on a chilly day!

You can purchase the pattern for Gridlock on Ravelry. 

Beth was busy carving this afternoon. This is the little pumpkin. There is a much bigger pumpkin that she is going to carve tonight with dad.

Pumpkin carving is done. Dad and Beth had a good time.

Beth couldn’t find her pumpkin carving tools so they used kitchen knives. They are already planning for next year. Beth is going to get better tools so they can do more intricate patterns.

Thank goodness for a covered deck with really good lighting and heaters.

Now it’s knitting time. Lynn and I had a great day in the store but boy am I tired. A few rows and then bed.
