I love Halloween - the decorations, the pumpkin beer, making costumes, going out at night - the whole thing. So, meet our new pet - Bob Spidey Colman - in honor of the upcoming day. We've had the web forever and it was high time for a little addition.
We live in one of those neighborhoods that crawl with kids and is full of weird old houses, so we're not the only ones decorating things on the street here. There's even a little system in the hood for peeing and beer refills among the parents who escort the kids around - and really, it doesn't get better than that, does it?

But this year, I've got a problem. Apparently, a few of the kids got together and figured out the whole costume thing themselves. Without me is totally cool - in fact, hey, - even preferred. I'm particularly backing the idea of the costume swap.
But Maya went and borrowed this costume. And I'm kind of hating it. Unfortunately, sharing my thoughts on the matter would only create hurt feelings with the girls and extra love for the dress itself with Maya. But am I nuts or is she about to be kind of the French Maid version of a devil this year?
Ugh. She, of course, thinks it's AWESOME. Just beeeyoutiful. Plus, it came from the 13 year old next door. Double awesome. So, tune in again at the end of the month to see how I manage to de-slut the thing. Cause I will. Must find a black size 8 turtleneck soon...
On the knitting front, we're working in a completely different direction.
Pure as the driven snow, cream colored DK tweed. It was on sale, meant for my hands by a higher power and I couldn't leave it there. Even though I'm supposed to be knitting from stash these days. And who am I to question providence?
!! What a nice literary Heaven and Hell contrast !! I didn't even see that one coming till I typed it. Ah yes.. I'm getting good at this. Heavenly sweater. Hellish costume. That'll keep me entertained for a bit here. Until I make a drink later.
Anyways, I'm working from the top down, using seamless construction here for a change. I have a few ideas for the neckline and sleeves, but will wait and see where the body takes me before I commit to any of them. The DK tweed is soft and lovely - a little thinner than my usual aran, but I'm liking it all the same.

Apparently I lack the ability to knit something from an existing pattern these days.
