Brainstorming I’m having a hard time finding a lion crochet toy pattern I like (and that isn’t too large). This Lion Amigurumi is kind of cute.
I keep browsing the bundle of patterns from Pigskin ’20 Sponsors. Thank you Zoom Dog Knits for putting this together.
From the Armchair Listener Mary sent this tutorial for joining granny squares. Check out this link to the zigzag slip stitch join tutorial.
I scored two great crafty books at Savers. Spent less than $6 for the pair!
Knitting in Passing I told stories about knitting with my 2 year old niece, Hattie, and her wearing my handknit socks. When she’s big she wants her own knitting and a bag for her knitting.
My best friend wants a gnome after seeing mine. Link to my Ravelry Project.
A family friend, age 16, asked me for handknit socks. So sweet.

I’m enjoying watching the leaves falling and seeing our neighbors’ goats out and about. * When boys working in the yarn I took my grabber and cleaned up our frontage of so much litter! * Making soups. Currently loving this Asiago Roasted Garlic Cauliflower Soup. * Fresh garlic from our friend’s garden.
Quote of the Week “Life is a train of moods like a string of beads, and as we pass through them, they prove to be many-colored lenses which paint the world their own hue, and each shows only what lies in its focus.”– Ralph Waldo Emerson
