Last week, my girls and I carved our pumpkins.  I decided to go for something sweet and simple…stars! I also absolutely adore my initials…so I made an homage to Martha Stewart and my name with a giant “S”.

Saturday, I spent the morning with my roomie visiting knit shops in the area as well as findng the closest Hancock Fabrics.   I got the SOFTEST baby alpaca in a sort of charcoal grey.  I want to make a hat like aunt purl did, but I’m confused on needle sizing.  I think I’m just gonna make a simple scarf for my sweetie. 

Saturday afternoon I roasted the pumpkin seeds.  Man oh man, those things are a bugger to clean up.

But they turned out so delicious and incredibly addicting.  I’m actually eating some now…
