September FO's by Leah
Hi all, Still here, just busy as all getout. I did manage to make 3 skinny scarves in September. One from Lion Brand Fun Fur, one in Bernat's Boa, and a really wonderfully soft one in Zitron's Filou. Actually made these in the round on 16 sts rather than make flat and sew up, so the fuzzy...

I am making a hat for my son--very simple little pumpkin hat on double pointed needles for his Halloween costume. I made one for my younger son, but the directions I have are only for a small child. I cannot find one for an adult size head. My oldest son is 4 years old and has a rather large...
