We had a few last minute changes in costume. Annie had decided that she wanted to be a Pokemon Trainer, so all that required was a small back pack and my collectible Poke ball. Katie was going to go as a homicidal maniac, which didn't need anything. That was, until we picked up Taylor. Taylor was dressed as a goth. So, Katie had to dress the same. Then they decided to wear fairy wings. At that point Annie had to be a fairy. Here are the end results:
Annie, trying to put on her dress shoes.
Katie, blue wings in all.
Mr. Vinny, trying to eat the chop sticks that Katie had to carry.
Katie and Taylor at the neighbor's house.And, of course, you have to have pumpkins for Halloween. Here is what we carved:
My first pumpkin, with cute face.
My second pumpkin, made with the pumpkin cut out kit.
Katie's pumpkin, an outline of Emily Strange's cate
Annie's pumpkin, another cute face. (Don't worry, I carved it for her.)
And, Mr. S's scary pumpkin. It almost looks like Oogie from Nightmare Before Christmas.And, finally, my Embossed Leaves socks, finished just in time for the SAM4 KAL deadline.
The Specs:Pattern: Embossed Leaves from Interweave Knits Winter '05
Yarn: Trekking XXL
Color: # 169
Needles: US 1
Started: Oct. 21, 2007
Finished: Oct. 31, 2007
Mods: I did 5 full reps in the leg, and 2 1/2 reps for the instep. And I mistakenly did a shallow heel gusset. That's what I get for turning a heel while I'm tired.
I want to make another pair of these, but in a solid, and to pattern.
And, on to a new month, already.

Cool pumpkins! The socks look great, too.
Trekking makes for great embossed leaves -- I love mine. It's such a fun pattern to knit that like you I'm planning on a second pair sometime.
The kids look great.
