October Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Sarah at Bella Knits announced that she was hosting a cemo cap / hat drive in support of breast cancer awareness month. Here is one of the hats I knit up (size 10 needles will help you fly through a hat project). Sarah had some yarn she dyed herself but hadn't been able to sold so she gave them to me to knit up the fun caps. It actually started when a buddy gave up trying to crochet a hat with the yarn Sarah had donated for the drive. I'll try to take a picture of them when I stop by Sarah's store today to drop of this lovely 100% Baby Alpaca cap. I turned them in before snapping a picture of it.




I am currently blocking the original cap I started for the cemo cap drive. Projects like these help me get rid of the yarn stash I've been accumulating.



I've started another project with a Louisa Harding pattern for the Juliet scarf for my sister's birthday (if I can knit this fast enough). Here's the kicker...my sister's name is Louisa. Another bonus, using up my stash! Trying to use what I have to conserve my cash so I can treat myself to a Victoria spinning wheel.


Ugh, I'm not being very frugal lately though. I spent some dough at White House | Black Market for some dresses to wear at a couple of weddings. I did get the dress on sale though!.

Speaking about being frugal, I have taken to storing food at work:


Trying to cut down on eating out. It was starting to get really expensive.
