Hello again! October has slipped on by with more excitement than I can really take, more on that in a bit! I hope you had a sufficiently wonderful Halloween and are not in too-terrible of a sugar coma.

Hello to all my new followers! I do hope I don't talk you to death. :) I have followed those who have linked up via Blogger in my feed reader but have run into a snag with using the actual blogger widget to follow you back! Blogger has evidently changed something in their system and it will no longer allow me to link my blog profile. Instead, it is trying to use my "real name" profile and I. Do. Not. Want. I'm starting to get fed up with Google trying to push having one's real name everywhere, even if I "lied" so my real name wouldn't be on the internet! Bah, humbug. I'll keep searching for a workaround.
Next, you want winners, right?! :D I was curious to see if one design would be more popular than the others but I wound up with six entries for each! I used the random number generator to pick the winners

So, I am going to be rather silent on the blog front for a while. My husband has accepted a new position which means things have really been up in the air and throwing everything they have at my anxiety. There is just too much going on with packing, finding a place, NOT finding a place, actually finding a place, planning for a trip that has been known about for a year that just had to be at the same time as all this, leaving the house and community I love, the new job, the new life, the new aaaaaaaaa seriously, I am so ready for 2016 to just be over! I am a creature of comfort and stability. There is a silver lining though; the place we're moving to has a Jo-Ann Fabrics
and a Michael's
and a yarn store. Priorities!

| Haunted House |
I did manage to squeak in a little something for Halloween. I'm not sure if this yarn was a good choice for this but it is what it is! The haunted house is most visible but the tree and bat were kinda ehhhh.... I did not block it as these cotton cloths take a bit longer to dry and it needed packed right away.
Technical Details
- "October Mystery Cloth" pattern by Kris Knits, found here on ravelry (free).
- #3 needles for cloth, #4 DPNs for i-cord loop
- Yarn: I Love This Cotton, amethyst
- Started August 17, finished October 31, unknown hours.
Hasta la vista, baby!
panic panic panic...........
Dude.... Good luck! I've had issues with blogger too, although I think I finally was able to unhook it from Google +. Fingers crossed things go smoothly and thanks for the link to the cloth, love it!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners. Lovely work. Hope your move goes on smoothly, good thing there's craft stores to run to👍
ReplyDeleteGoodness, I'm a little shocked, but thank you! Congratulations Christine. I really like your cloth - what a great Halloween idea! About the move, just keep taking deep breaths and muttering "this too shall pass" and you'll get through it. Moves are always horribly upsetting.
ReplyDeleteI love your knitted haunted house. And congratulations to the winners of these two great Prairie Schooler books.
ReplyDeleteHave a great and smooth move. And having a Michael's and Jo-Ann's at your new place is a real treat, isn't it? I would be happy with just one of them, lol.
Congrats to the Winners. Best of luck with the move. 2016 seems to have been a struggle for quite a few people, can't wait for it to be over myself as well. The changes Google has been making have been very frustrating. Love your Halloween knitting, so cute!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners and great Halloween make too.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best with the moves and how cool is that having LNS nearby... perfect to settle in!
Looking forward to reading you again when you've moved in your new home.
Hoping your move goes smoothly and you have lots of happy times in your new home. Great news the craft stores will be local to you.
DeleteLove the Halloween dishcloth... thanks for the link to those.
Congrats to your winners
Oh dear me I know all to well about that anxiety feeling. It made me sick for about two months when we had to move in2012. I do really love living in Arkansas although I miss our little house. Prayers for you.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners. Lovely knitting. Good luck with the move. We moved 2 weeks back and I'm kind of enjoying setting up the new house.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners and the best of luck with your house hunting and move. So exciting.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winners! And to you too on your new house. I hope there's plenty of wall space for stitching, or at least a big cupboard to keep it all in LOL
ReplyDeleteThat's such a cool block! Good luck with the move - I hope it goes smoothly! :D
ReplyDeleteCool block :) I hope your move went well and you're happy in your new place!
ReplyDeleteOh, I missed your post and was just wondering why you have been away for quite a while. Hope you have settled now. Lovely square!!
