Steph's Birthday Pressie

So I decided to make a present for my friend Steph, and as knitting seems to be my thing these days I went for a pair of slippers, they are knitted then felted its quite a interesting process they have to be knitted with 100% wool for it to work and they shrink a lot during felting.  I am always unsure about making things for other people I worry they wont like it, or it wont fit that they will just say they like it then dump it in the closest never to be seen again lol but I personally appreciate the effort put into a hand made gift much more than something bought in a store so here they are one felted one knitted so you can see just how much they change during the process.

Pumpkin Patch

This year on thanksgiving weekend we went to the McMillan pumpkin patch.  This is the first time I have ever been and I have never bought or eaten a pumpkin in my life so this year was gonna be the first.  Mya really enjoyed herself she went into the hay maze and the corn maze, we went on a hay ride to see the pumpkins in the fields and to see some cows and sheep. I got some cute photo's of both Mya and Jade and Mya picked out her very own baby pumpkin.  I got two medium sized pumpkins took them home and used canned pumpkin to make a pie and a cake lol. They where both yummy and I will be chopping up and cooking my pumpkins soon.

   
 

Michelle's Hat

So my latest knitting project is a hat I picked this pattern because I wanted to knit a hat for my friend Michelle and she has dreads so she needed a floppy kinda hat so it was nice and loose to fit all her hair in. :) I got this finished in about 2 weeks it took longer than I expected because its actually a lot bigger than I thought it would be but it turned out really well.  Now my plan is to go back and finish everything else I started lol I finished Jade's onesie but didn't sew on any buttons I made the sweater for Mya but didn't do the sleeves because it was too small so now I need to finish it for Jade.  I did the onesie last night so thats all finished and today I'm gonna start on the sleeves for the sweater after that I'm going back to socks for a while after finding a really cool way of knitting 2 socks at the same time on verypink.com Stacie does video's to go with the patterns and I have never seen video's this easy to follow before she is awesome and I can't wait to get started.
