This week I finished a knit cowl. Originally I wanted to list it on my store because it matches the charcoal beret, but I really like it! I haven't decided if I should keep it, or list it and make another for myself later (even though later never comes!). I snagged a quick picture of it on my phone to share with you. I only kept it on long enough to grab the shot since it is SO hot here today!! This weekend will reach up to 100... I thought this was Fall?

Izzie has a new bow!

And here's a glimpse of what's currently on my needles. It will be a cowl that can also be worn as a warm winter headband. (color is a bit distorted, it's actually a rich burgundy)

I have another 3 day weekend ahead of me and for that, I am very thankful! So much to do, so little time! Here is my current crochet/knit to-do list:

1. Knit cabled beret, oatmeal for Carrie
2. Finish red cowl/headband for shop
3. Grey fingerless mitts for Nicole
4. Pumpkin hat for Crystal's baby
5. Halloween headband for a swap (by Oct 31)
6. Cabled hat for a swap (by Nov 6)
7. Orange fingerless mitts for a swap (by end of Nov)
8. Autumn/Fall hat for a swap (by Nov 6)
9. Slippers for a swap (by Nov 30)

phew! And that doesn't include Xmas presents! I'm thinking I should slow down on the swaps for a while. It's so hard for me to say no, they're so fun! I got a hat from Germany last month and will be getting one from Portugal this month! Also, my husband has requested that I knit him a pair of socks for xmas. I've never done that before, any tips before I get started?
