It's Done! Harf by Spincycle

I am dragging out the days of fall so I can wear my harf that I finally finished. The pattern is from Spincycle Yarns and unfortunately we do not carry it in our store. After a gorgeous weekend of sunshine and family time I had my dearest take some pics so I can share.
It is knit up in Noro Silk Garden Lite Color 32 and I absolutely ADORE this yarn - I used two skeins on a size 9 Needle and I made the scarf portion longer than what the pattern calls for because I like the idea of wrapping it more than once.

My beauty Vivian has been trying to overthrow my harf so I am in the progress of making her one as well that is more suited to her little bean head.

Loving the Season

I just love the fall because of the transition into holiday season. Whether it is pure nostalgia or the new joy of watching my kids dress up, eat turkey and anticipate the arrival of Santa Claus, it never gets tiresome or boring. I have the same excitement hanging Christmas lights on the last warm day in November (which will be likely be tomorrow) and pulling out boxes of decorations. It also seems to be my more productive time as far as projects go. I always have at least 6 (likely more) waiting to be finished! I have a few knitting projects that I will post albeit complete or not! I did finish my baby girl's Queen of Hearts costume (thankfully!) just under the wire for a great night of trick or treating!
