Good morning! I am here again...and I crafted this week! Nothing finished, but picked up some languishing projects....
My view form the Yarn Loft this morning. I wrote about the Yarn Loft earlier this week, if you'd like to take a peek.
So I have been working on my Zombody's Eating Candy Corn socks...the yarn is from Desert Vista Dyeworks...I love her Zombie series and need to order more....
The bag is an Otterly Adorable bag...it has orange with black polka dots inside. Love it!
I pulled out my Brainzzzz hat to work on. I never started a Ravelry project page for it....I was bad about that last year, but again..lots of stuff going on.....I have a small blue marker at where I was on the i-cord brains...oh I've never done I-cord before this! This is the pattern I used....I need 20-24 FEET of I-Cord!!!!! I have no idea how much I have, but not nearly enough!
The bag is a Jessalu bag.....
I added six stripes on my Throwback Poncho.....and again I don't have a project page! I am using Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted for it. This is the pattern I am using I'm hoping this will be finished by Rhinebeck...but I wanted an orange stripe and my LYS did not have orange, so I ordered and orange and a fuchsia from Webs...it'll be here this week....It's very a very easy watching tv project...
So that is all for me this week.....I'm going to have to go back through my social media to see if I can figure out when I started these projects and make a Ravelry page....Oh, the poncho is on my list! The Brainzzzz hat I know I started in October of last year....just added it to the list...

Will you be adding fringe to your poncho or not? That will be perfect for Rhinebeck. Love the colors you have chosen too. I have seen the brain hat done before and it is fascinating. I am sure you will receive many comments on it once completed and worn. Those socks are a grand color as well. I love your project bags too. Have a great week.
Wow that’s a long Icord, I suppose you get in a rhythm, I’ve only done 4” at a time. Now you have your crafting loft it sounds like things are going to really start coming together. I only found out what candy corns were a few weeks ago when talking with my niece. The socks match the picture I was shown 😁
I love the candy corn socks. Perfect name for that colour way for sure and very Halloweeny!
I look forward to seeing your finished Brainzzz hat. I think that is such a fun project. Your I-cord looks beautifully knit.
Your yarn loft sounds like an excellent place for all of your yarn goodies.
In my opinion, anyone who knits over 20 feet of icord gets to indulge in any new yarn they want, no project or any other reason required.
