A Halloween report

I can report that we had the most polite Trick or Treaters we've ever had. I was thanked by each one. It really makes a difference since I waffle from year to year if I even want to do the whole candy thing. I loved it as a kid, I hate it as an adult.

One boy was so excited because I had Milky Way Simply Caramel bars. "These are the best, you can not find them in stores now. I know I've looked. Thank You!" You guessed it he got two. And I did a test, you know since we happened to have some left over, and boy is he right they are really good. We may officially be out of them since I stuffed the others in my purse for tomorrow. Ahem, you saw nothing!

I can also report that my new Icelandic socks are very warm indeed. I just love new socks, don't you? I may have to cast on another pair for D too since all of his handmade socks were in the laundry. Casting on seems so much simpler than washing the ones he has, right?

I also pulled my Eggplant Holden shawl out of timeout. I ripped back to the stockinette portion and will be starting fresh there too. I really need to clean somethings up on my in progress page on Ravelry and that shawl just jumped to number one. Well number two right after Mom's socks.

  2. All the kids that turned up at our house last night said thank you. Rascal welcomed every single one, and tried to go home with some of them, too! Luckily, they herded him back. I get grumpy with Halloween sometimes, but the kids always make me smile in the end.

    1. Ah that Rascal, I don't think he knows the meaning of too friendly.
      I was really surprised by the kids this year, ever so pleasantly surprised.
