Up until recently I was pretty good at knitting project monogamy. Then, once I slipped and had two projects…. I’ve ended up with way too many. Not my fault though.

This Friday, my household is holding a Halloween party. Money is tight, and the hostess who has a tendency to spend a LOT on parties has been forced to budget, which means I’m designing and making a few little things, like a FULL QUILTED TABLECLOTH FOR THE GIANT DINING TABLE, among other things. At the same time, I have a swap due in a week for a pair of knitted armwarmers, which isn’t a problem besides the pattern being HORRIBLE HORRIBLE and me resisting urges to write a better one and using that because I have a deadline.

In addition to the tablecloth and the armwarmers, which have deadlines, I’m also making the Manitou Passage Scarf (almost done) and I’m designing a matching hat (not quite halfway done), also for the hostess of the Halloween party (there’s a reason I haven’t hemmed the skirt I made for her last month yet). I’ve finished the second of the Chakra hats, and have to start doing the charts in excell so I can post the pattern, and also do a couple more to perfection and post them in the Craftster challenge board.

Oh yeah, and the pink fuzzy coat from hell… Yeah. Plus NaKniSweMo is starting in a little more than a week. I’ve been so busy with all this STUFF that I haven’t even had time to gloat over pictures of all the awesome closeout yarn I found at Tuesday Morning, or post the pictures of the super awesome sweaters I picked up from the Goodwill to unravel.

Did I mention this is the week Chris decided to start organizing our rooms? :|

I’ll be posting pictures of everything in the weeks to come, trust me. For now, here are some pictures of the mushrooms growing in our front yard. These pictures were taken for somebody. You know who you are.

WHOOPS! I’d missed five mushroom pictures earlier! Here are some more pictures of my apparently delicious mushrooms that somebody STOLE FROM MY YARD BEFORE I COULD PICK THEM:

Taken especially for you-know-who. This one is huge. The cap is as big as the palm of my hand.
