Some knitting, and Fred's Halloween costume

I guess Fred has decided what he wants to go as for Halloween! I walked into the living room the other day, and this is what greeted me. Such a clown hound! I told him to "stay", as i ran and grabbed the camera.














And look! Knitting!! I have had this Lornas Laces Black Watch Shepherd Sock yarn for ages now. I bought it when i thought i would like thick yarn socks. I knit one pair, and realized that i did not like the way the thicker yarn felt on my footsies. But it sure is great scarf yarn!! I have a knit a couple of scarves with this yarn, and it is uber soft. The multidirectional scarf is kind of vanilla, i know...but, i love the way the edges of it never curl. The pattern also is a great way to show off the multicolored yarn. I have knit up this pattern with Noro Kochoran, and Berroco something or other...i cannot remember the name of the yarn, and several others. In fact...Miss G has a scarf that i knit her in this pattern a loooong time ago! I guess this could be considered my go-to scarf pattern. Excellent car knitting, which i plan on doing this weekend as we head into the Adirondacks for a little fall color!

I love it!!! That's so funny. My Fred loved to pose for the camera too. Sissy was totally uncooperative yesterday... She still thinks STAY is optional!!

Love that yarn too.

Oh, Fred, you're so funny! What a good boy, waiting while you got the camera. Thor would have followed me to see what I was doing!

My scarf like that is hanging around the neck of my brown london fog coat.
