October Wrap-Up...Finally!

What a busy start to the month I have had! So many work obligations, so many appointments, so many meetings...but finally things are calming down as we head into the Thanksgiving holiday week. Thank goodness!

I finished two little things in October, as I am slowly starting to get my crafting mojo back as the colder months approach. 

Here is a cute little pin-loom pumpkin that I made:


I used my pin loom to weave a few orange squares, sewed them into the shape of a pumpkin, and then used one of my Purl & Loop Minute Weavers to weave the stem. I got the pattern and idea from WindsweptMind.com

I also finished this knitted blanket square, which is going to be made into a blanket with many squares from other friends for a mutual friend who is currently working through some medical problems. 

The pattern for this square can be found on the DROPS Design website, though it is just a basic 8" garter square, so it's not too difficult to make up your own version if you so choose. Just choose your needle and yarn carefully to get the right size of square! 

So, what's in the works now, you might ask? I am currently working to knit a much-needed hat, I'm crocheting some Christmas decorations, I'm nearly finished with a knitted gnome, and I hope to get some work done on the woven towels that have been languishing on my loom for the past few months. Now if I can just find a bit more crafting time! :-) Hopefully the holiday week next week will afford me a few more moments to relax and craft. I hope the same for you. 

Happy crafting!
