halloween and socks

Yesterday was Halloween and we celebrated by handing out a bowl full of candy, staying warm on the front porch with coffee and Baileys, catching up with our dear friend, Josh, and dressing Sophie up as a lion. Here she is trying to get into a Bit O Honey. She refused to wear the head, so I suppose she really was a half human/half lion crossbreed.

Today, I finished my first sock. The toe is a little off and my heel decreases don't match for some reason, but it LOOKS like a sock, it fits, and the yard is cozy and warm. Sock #2, here I come!
