The best things in life,
Aren't things...
Gettin' Knitty
I learned to knit several years ago with my daughter. We took a beginning knitting class at a cute local yarn shop. I have really only knitted scarfs and hats. I started a sweater several years ago... And, I also like to make wash cloths. My knitting/crochet page on Pinterest is called "Gettin' Knitty."
I volunteered today and did not get a chance to do any major crafting. I had a scarf that I have been working on that only needed a few more rows to finish up. Well, I finished it today!!
I love the colors! Now, if it will just get cool enough here in the North Houston area for me to actually wear it... I think it will be cute with a jean jacket!
The pattern is very easy! If anyone is interested, I will post the pattern. I got it several years ago and just have it memorized. I'm not sure where I got the pattern, but I'm sure it is on Ravelry (a great knitting community website with free patterns, and other ones for sale.)
Craft Festival
A few months ago, my husband and I were out and about and we came across a craft festival. I, of course, wanted to stop and look. My husband, being his usual thoughtful self, stopped so that I could shop. I found this funny little face jug. I though it was so ugly that it was cute!! It has a fabulous arts and crafts vibe about it. I love hand made pottery and have several pieces that we have collected through the years.
I hope that your October is going well. I have really enjoyed trying to think of things to share that I do each day. I am convinced that having creative outlets helps balance out the stresses of everyday life.
Until tomorrow :)

Love you knitting project! And I totally agree with you about having creative outlets and managing stress (and so does Elder Uchtdorf: https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2008/10/happiness-your-heritage?lang=eng).
