Sorry, I know I've been a bit MIA. Boy Thing had a fever this past week that kept him home for a few days. A touch of the Swine, perhaps? Apparently it's pretty rampant around here but is acting like the regular old flu, just a lot more contagious. We'll never know since they're only testing the critically ill. I wonder how many people are going to be vaccinated that have already had the Swine Flu and just didn't know it?
Meanwhile, I've been knitting. I knit two EDI cowls, they are squishy, warm, fast, and lovely. I'll think they'll make good gifts, so I may knit some more. Vital Stats for both: pattern:
EDI cowl, yarn: Malabrigo Chunky in Bobby Blue and Intenso, size 15 needles. You can also pull these up around your nose or head if it's very cold.
I know Halloween seems like it was ages ago, but here is a picture of the kids in their costumes, The Puffs Box and The Leaf Bag. Why? You may ask yourself, I have no idea, but they had a blast with it.
A friend made me the T shirt below. She makes these shirts with knitted I-cord (I think) sewn on. Each shirt has a word specifically for the person that she made it for. Another friend got one that said "Tidy". I love my shirt, I think it's brilliant.

Love the cowls - very nice! Cute shirt!
I love cowls. Perfect for cold days when I'm walking the dog. Especially with all the wind-tunnel streets around here. And a good mindless knit for taking care of the sick boy. Hope he's better soon and no one else gets ill!
well that was a satisfyng post, with lots of good creativity crammed in it! ov ethe leaf bag & tissues. Actually love the T and the cowl, too. Is the Icord word sewn on in matching thread? or fabric glued? I could see it with contrasting embroidery thread too.....
ZOMG those cowls are great! Must make one.
The Puff's box & leaf bag are excellent & odd costumes. Yay!
Glad the boy is over his flu. Mr. Kim is sick now but seems like a regular cold.
The EDI's look just scrumptious! I think Intenso is my super fav. Nice job. The Halloween costumes are fantastic. What a neat idea on the T. What a great personal gift.
Hope everyone's keeping well at your place - last week my kids were sick, and today my throat is sore. I've felt like I've had a cold in my eyes for the past week. But enough of me, how 'bout those cowls?? Love them. And the Halloween costumes? Love them, too! Take care.
Super cute cowls!
