It's the day before Halloween. The pumpkin's been brought in from the shed ready for carving, and the forecast was for rain this afternoon so this morning Joe and I went on a little walk. We spotted lots of lovely things: I want one of these trees. They remind me of candelabras somehow, especially once their leaves have dropped.
This is one well-stocked woodshed. Well, barn. They must have a serious log burning stove in their house.
Speaking of houses - this might be my perfect place for a Halloween party. Apple-bobbing and so on. And cocktails and costumes.
Someone even managed to keep a hat and mittens on. Cobbled lane + snuggly footmuff = sleepy boy. He'd better be awake for the pumpkin carving later.
On the subject of hats, I've just finished this for someone we know with a new baby girl. Looks simple enough. It took me three attempts with a lot of unravelling ( of knitting) and fraying (of nerves). My second attempt at a pattern. I had to increase stitches on a purl row. It floored me.
I got there eventually. Thank you, You Tube.
Love those pictures. Well done with the hat. I tried knitting a pair of baby Mary Janes recently and ended up with two left ones!
ReplyDeleteOh, that must have been mortifying! I do love knitting and the challenge of a pattern (albeit a simple one so far) but it's also pretty nerve-wracking. Maybe it should be classed as an extreme hobby!
