Halloween and Pumpkins




I was looking through some work of mine and remembered a design I came up with a few years ago. It is a Jack-0-Lantern bookmark pattern. Fast to crochet using size 10 thread. You can find the pattern free on my website.
For Halloween, my son, Jesse, will be Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. He will have a flashing red nose. Christmas will reach us early LOL.

Addi Click Interchangeable Knitting Needles

At last some of these sets arrived for the store. I have to say that I am really impressed with them. The joins are so smooth and there are endless combinations of lengths and needle sizes. They aren't going to stay in stock long, that is for sure. I think I will get a set for myself too. They would be great for when I am travelling. All those needles in one small case!!!!! I love Addi Turbo needles as they just glide through the yarn. An A+++++++++ from me.

Snow, Snow, Snow

Woke up to a blanket of that white stuff this morning. GROAN.

It was supposed to be a day off for me at the Shelter. Then I got a call and realised that something was going on that shouldn't have been. So I had to clear all the snow from my van and head over there. There are 8 cute puppies that need caring for right now. I see it is snowing out again and I need to back there at 8pm to feed the little bundles of fur again.
