So, do you remember back in July, when I was madly knitting on those three dragons for our friends’ little boy? Well, I did deliver them in July, but didn’t get a picture. And Karin’s camera was broken, so she couldn’t get them. I got an email from her last night, including pictures of the dragons (Knitty’s Norberta in blue, green, and purple) with her little guy, Sam, in his very appropriate (and TOO CUTE FOR WORDS) Halloween costume.
Other than that, it was a quiet weekend here. Kris and I didn’t do much, which was absolutely lovely. I did finish up Cherie Amour, and am hoping to get some pictures when Kris gets home. I’m very happy with how it came out.
I also started a new project. I picked up a copy of the new book “Son of Stitch ‘n Bitch”, and I decided that Kris needed a scarf to go with his “We Call Them Pirates” hat. So, I’m doing an “Uncle Argyle” scarf for him in black and white. It’s my first attempt at double knitting, and I’m really enjoying it so far. It’s not difficult, but it’s challenging enough to keep things interesting.

Incidentally, the scarf pattern was designed by Lindsay of Storm Moon Knits – as in she who dyed that gorgeous sock yarn I got at Stitches East this year!

Oh so CUTE!!!!
I had a dream I was double knitting. But it was all one color. Seemed kind of pointless.

Yay for Storm Moon Knits! The scarf is awesome. I’d be hard pressed to give that away to any boy, husband or no!

That is the most adorable thing I’ve seen in a long time. I have a thing for dragons. Not as badly as I do for bats, but it’s close. Cute kid in dragon costume, plus toy knitted dragons? I’m melting.
