Halloween and a Few Other Things

Visiting in Denver for the past week and we have had 6 inches of snow which is not too bad considering what is happening in other parts of the country. A good excuse to stay inside and knit my Maize sweater for my son Ryan with kitty to keep me company:

                                                                           

                                                                         

                                                                               

I am knitting this with Brown Sheep's  Lamb's Pride worsted in a color called Old Sage:

                                                                         

Maeve has been wearing her poncho to school:

                                                                       
                                                                               
    My daughter has been wearing a beautiful aran sweater that I thought was a handknit gift from Ireland.  Turns out it's from J Crew and we looked at the tag inside.  It says, Handknit in China.

                                                                       
                         

No trip to Denver would be complete without hitting a few of their wonderful yarn shops.  Here's Sara in her Cabled Capelet by Ann Schantz  at The Lamb Shoppe:

                                                                                     

Pumpkins are all carved and waiting to be put out on Halloween night.

   
The kids are already to go; Ninjas are really big this year:

                                                                     
Our little Lion is not as excited about all this:

                                                                                 
                                           

                                                                                       

Happy Halloween!  Couldn't resist adding this quilt from the Pacific Quilt Show:
