Happy Monday!

Fall is finally here I think.  We had our last couple days of hot temperatures and it has now cooled down into the 70's.  I'm ready for the cooler temps but not ready for winter yet.

Finished Projects:

I finished a couple things over the past week.  I finally finished the knit stocking hat I've been working on.  I used Red Heart Fiesta Burgundy yarn and 16" Clover size 7 Bamboo Circular Knitting Needles.  I'm ready to start on my next knit hat.  It's getting easier and I'm getting better at it.

I was experimenting and made a tunisian crochet child size headband.  I used the honeycomb stitch and Clover double ended tunisian hook size H.  I also used some random baby yarn I had in my stash.  I used mint green and pink.

I can't wait to make more things like this!  I've made an adult size headband in the past using this same pattern,  They are so simple and fun to make.  Only thing is I'm struggling with the smaller sizes since I have no one to try them on.  There are just adults in my house.

Works in Progress:

In my "take with me bag" I have my boomerang shawl  (free pattern link) that I'm looking forward to working on.  I think it will be nice to wear this fall when I go some place that it's cooler.  I'm using ICE Yarn Neon Wool.

I have a hat started on my orange big peg loom.  I'm using some old Caron Dazzle Aire yarn and some blue with metallic thread.  It's really pretty.  It should be done this week.

I also have a new ball of cotton yarn and my bamboo straight 8's (knitting needles) for a mindless washcloth if I decide to start something new.

I also have the double knit stocking hat on the Knitting Board Double Knit Loom my friend loaned me.  I wanted to try it before I added it to my wish list.  Unfortunately it's not going on the list.  It's ok, but not something I would enjoy using very often.  I do need to finish the hat hopefully this week so I can return the loom to my friend.

What I'm Reading:

I decided to find a book to read over the weekend too.  A Moment of Weakness by Karen Kingsbury
