I finished the blanket! Not in time to give to C when she was in the office, but in plenty of time for cold weather. I think I'll be seeing her on Monday so I can give it to her to give to J. I hope he likes it. My to-be-completed list is actually shrinking despite the picture above. That's the Baby Surprise Jacket that I made on a whim. I worked on it over the weekend while I was on the couch with a headache. Since nothing I did made the headache go away, I decided to knit. I'm officially in love with this pattern. It's like knitting origami.
I think I'll be making a couple more for the other babies. Actually, I already ordered the yarn for them, so I will definitely be making them. And when the Gryffindor scarf is finished, I can start thinking about my own sweater that I'm getting excited about. The yarn is waiting patiently for me.
So the BSJ is for a temp who's been working with us since August. I'm almost finished a matching hat, and I should be able to finish a bib (from Mason-Dixon Knitting) in time to give her tomorrow, which is her last day. I hope she likes them. I'm pretty sure she will.
My friend (the recipient of the Endless Scarf of Stockinette) is having a Halloween party and we're supposed to come as book, tv, or movie characters. I'm actually pretty excited about my costume. I'm going to be Madame Defarge from A Tale of Two Cities. That means I can knit and still be in character. I ordered the pieces for my costume, and I hope they come in on time. The good thing is that the party isn't until the first weekend in November. So I hope that's enough time for the various parts to come together. I like when I have a good idea. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is what to do with my hair, but I think I'll look on a costume site or on eBay for a wig. We're spending the night after the party for a Supernatural marathon, so I don't want to powder or spray my own hair white and then have to sleep on it.
