F to the O

Ha! Ha, ha, ha! I am posting an FO Friday on Friday!Just adulating all over the place…nbd :)

It's a good thing I had a list going because I wasn't exactly sure what I had to show you…in order from first to last, here we go!

Halloween Socks
I really, really like these socks except for the fact that I cast-off a little tighter than I should have :(
However, that has not stopped me from already wearing them twice (including for Halloween for the Giants parade!).

Falling Leaves
It's really hard to block something when you don't have enough blocking boards. This definitely grew with the blocking I gave it so I'm hunting for more blocking boards so I can straighten out the top border and make this perfect. I've already worn it in it's semi-blocked state…A) it is warm as all get out and B) I look classy and adult-like when I wear it!

EKP Baby Blanket
The not-quite baby blanket is done! And stretched out on my parent's king-sized bed because it makes my twin look tiny. And the baby is due to come any day now so I'm glad it is finished.

Look for lots of Christmas knitting in the weeks to come as the big day is 6.8 weeks away! Zoinks!
To get you in the mood (and to celebrate 100 posts), I'm hosting a pattern giveaway. Comment on this post by next Friday to be entered. I'll number the posts and pick 3 winners via random number generator for a Ravelry pattern that's under $10. Happy Friday!

    I love the super fun Halloween socks!! Look at you go with 3 FOs!!! I'm also with you in giving "baby blankets" that a child can use for longer than being a little baby :) Love the colors as well!
    I'm in for the contest! Congrats on 100 posts! JLCherry33 on Rav.

    I love all your FOs. I think your pairing of "events" and "socks" is excellent, but those fabulous socks can and should be worn everywhere. Again with the amazing background fabric. Cats this time!

    Seeing the size of the finished baby blanket, I'm with you. absolutely great size, any recipient for person of full size or the new kind is going to be super lucky and grateful.

      Baby still hasn't come yet-crossing our fingers for everything to go smoothly when the time does come.
