Whirlwind weekend

We had company all weekend and had so much fun with Halloween! Yesterday was a flurry of activity...shopping, playing, cooking/eating, and continuous laughter. A quick stop at the LYS resulted in a wonderful booty. Some more Berroco was a must for my next cardigan, and I couldn't resist an awesome colorway of some Plymouth Chunky for my step-son another hat. We are leaving for vacation soon, so I'm saving my new stash to start on along the way. Very exciting!

I'm almost finished with my Mystery Socks, and while I have until the end of the month to submit a picture of them for the contest, I want to get them done so I can wear them. They are so squishy soft and feel so good on my feet!!

After our company left last night, I needed something super easy, but fun and cute to work on until I caught my breath. Whenever that happens, I usually think of something for charity, which is exactly what I chose to do. While the house was still quiet yesterday morning, I took the opportunity while sipping my morning coffee to take a quick peek at Ravelry. I found the cutest crochet pattern for a scarf! It was perfect to use up some of my acrylic stash, and light enough to be worn by the recipient who lives in a warmer climate. Should the need arise, in case of a surprise temperature change, I made it long enough to where it could be doubled around the neck for a little more warmth. It was hard to capture the true color of this yarn, but it's more of a minty green from Bernat Satin. I hate the yarn, but what can I say? it was in the acrylic bin my mom donated to me, that I'm trying to empty. I will definitely be making more of these... I love it and they are so fast to work up!

I hope y'all have a great week!
