Another Saturday, with more and more rain. The backyard was positively spongey when I was out there taking pics for the bottom of this post. At least yesterday morning it was beautiful and sunny for the hour I was out for my walk… then within a few minutes of...

No knitting this week, and I didn’t really stick to the daily themes for stitching either, opting to focus on Halloween pieces. Which included a small finish that I just started on Halloween, “Casting A Spell” by Homespun Elegance: I did do a bunch of thread substitutions: DMC 4503...

And the last Lemax Spooky Town piece of the year (well, I might do one last write-up on Halloween itself, we’ll see), Witches Tower: I already told the story of how I acquired this at 80% off, so I’ll just add the usual review from Doug of Spooky Villages:...
