There were quite a few things that happend in October that I didn't get a chance to blog about.  So before I move into November, let's do a re-cap of October. I know I have mentioned that one of my favorite blogs is "A Quilting Life".  in one of her posts she had a great tutorial for some zippered pouches made out of mini charm packs.  I ended up making three of these and have great plans for making some for the holidays. These would be great for a pedicure kit, sewing kit, first aid kit, stationary kit... the list goes on and on! We also had our monthly 4-H Spin Sewing meeting.  We had 5 kids there but by the time we were ready for pictures, we only had two of the girls left.  We had them make totes based on this tutorial .  It was another successful project and easy enough for the kids to finish in one session.

It's almost the end of the month and I am making a mad dash to get the last of my Chemo hats done.  I got this cute thing done the other night: Doesn't Viola look fabulous?  This is a great quick knit and the pattern is from Craftsy .  I did re-do the bill and used double strands, making the bill just a little bit more sturdy.   A friend gave me some yarn thinking I could make something out of it.  I am sure I am not the only knitter with good friends like this!   It only takes one ball of bulky yarn and in the stash from my friend there were 3 balls of bulky yarn that works perfectly for this pattern.  It might be stretch to get two more done by tomorrow (Oct. 31st) but there are at least two more World Series games so just maybe.... Daughter #3 also wanted to a Halloween costume.  Did I mention that she is 20?  In case you don't know, college students really love to dress up for Halloween!  She wants to be Wednesday...
