It's going to be a hat.

First post of October!  I didn't mean to neglect this blog, but real life gets busy.  Right after the hurricane I switched to my fall (actually all year except summer) schedule.  I am a much better runner than knitter.  The majority of the year (except summer, when I do it in the mornings), I run after work.  This schedule doesn't leave a lot of time in the evenings for knitting.  However, I haven't totally neglected it.  I started something, messed up, ripped out.  No need to discuss that.

Here's what I started yesterday.  It's going to be a hat, probably for my head.  This is the K1P1 ribbing.  Could be tedious, but the yarn made it a pleasure.  I can't say how much I am enjoying working with it.  It's called Jasper and it's by Berroco.  It is 100% fine merino wool according to the label.  It is so soft and smooth and (I know this isn't a word usually applied to yarn) creamy.  It feels great in my fingers.

I was creative in a whole other way today.  One of my life-long hobbies is baking.  I found a recipe on Martha Stewart's website that was so cute and appropriate to fall that I had to make it.  Here are my (Martha's) candy corn sugar cookies.  Yum!
