Mini Apple Pies

These weren't difficult, but they were pretty labor intensive. And delicious. I was trying to make them look like little apples, but I think they look more like calzones.



And some Pi pie for good measure!

Cowls on Call

I almost forgot:

I've got some lacy cowls for sale at Royal Grounds coffee:
It's the perfect weather for soft, lacy, warm circle scarves. I really love these variegated colors too- I've got a purple one in the works and will be doing one in browns and one in grays in the future. Get one for yourself and one for a gift. ;0)

Sneak Peak

Hi,

I've been busy knitting, crocheting, baking and doing classwork and haven't been able to keep up with posting finished projects! Here are a few sneak peaks of what is to come:

This is a "jester" baby suit for a friend's baby. I anticipate finishing it TONIGHT (now that I've said it, I have to do it <----- see what I did there? accountability) and mailing it off to Japan tomorrow. More pics (of the details) to come.

This fall sweater is DONE: buttons, blocking and all. I've been wearing it around town in my stubborn belief that it is still fall. It reminds me of maple trees in autumn and the wool is super cozy. I have yet to get finished pictures of it due to the weather/ not being outside during the day/not having someone to take a picture.

Another sweater that is done: I knit it in August, but didn't block it until last weekend when I got pins/foam mats and could block the lace properly. I will add finished photos when I get them (for the same reasons as above)

Another sneak peak: 
More of this next weekend! (and a recipe too!)

Take a Hike (Socks)

While it was still nice and fall-like, with yards and some streets covered in colorful leaves before it got cold and rainy, I finished testing a sock pattern. These were fall-themed socks, which I liked, and had neat cables, which I really liked and I was able to find an autumnal colored yarn to work them up in. I finished these socks (the pattern's called "Take a Hike" by Heather Hamilton and is available for sale on Ravelry and on her website: http://embracethefumes.wordpress.com/2012/10/24/take-a-hike-download-available/) and took pictures with them off campus before a class on the last day of beautiful fall weather before the rains came.
Here's my amateur photo shoot:




These socks are SO cozy, fun to knit, and part of my appreciation of fall! :0)
