Fall Scarf

Whoa, has is it really been nearly two weeks since I've been here? Craziness!

I'm in the midst of midterms, a paper, and a group project, all due within the next two weeks. I'm fairly certain that college professors think students are superheroes. How else do they expect people to get so much done in so little time?

My sewing time has been limited, but the extra commuting has given me a chance to get reacquainted with my yarn stash. Most days, I'd rather knit or crochet on the bus, because I just can't-read-another-chapter.

Other blogs are already showing off Christmas crafts and that sent my heart into a fit of palpitations. It's so close and getting closer everyday! Pfftt... I'm so behind!

I pulled out this half finished scarf (started way back in February or so when I had ridiculous dreams of making Christmas gifts all year long). It's an Ifeoma, which is my scarf staple, because it makes a pretty, squishy scarf.

I know it's some sort of Red Heart, but I lost the ball band and can't remember the exact kind. It's super soft and the color changes are beautiful with such a simple pattern.

This one is getting thrown in the Christmas pile. It'll probably go to one of Pi's teachers, though I'm not 100% sure just yet.

Totally random: Piper wants to be a 7-11 Slurpee for Halloween. She couldn't have possibly picked a weirder costume. Cross your fingers I can figure out how to do it!

Pretty scarf. Getting reacquainted with your stash is good ... some relaxation time even if it is in transport! Pi is a hoot. Great idea for a costume. Good luck!
