Happy Hallowe'en!

Yeah, I know, it's late. But I didn't get the (real) picture back for a while (I'd forgotten my digital camera), and then I had to get it scanned in, and then I had to remember to upload it.

For Hallowe'en, we went to the neighbourhood of some good friends, and joined them and their children for Trick-or-Treating. We dressed up for the occasion.

Other than that, I managed to complete another Afghan square. This time it was Square 29: Leaning Stripes. This is a very interesting fabric. Each stripe appears on the surface to be a single stitch wide, but in fact with the Right Twists that make the stripes lean, there are actually 3 stitches for each pair of stripes (so effectively 1.5 stitches per stripe). The extra stitches are invisible as they are at the back of the twist. This causes the fabric to be quite dense. It would be a good fabric for really warm clothing.

Oh, and Jen (of Catharsis fame) enjoyed her scarves (the green and blue ones). She'd like to think she's getting both, but I'll make sure Jared, her husband gets one!
