There is a lot of crafting going on at Chez Melissa. The leaves are falling, a chill is in the air and a severe weather alert is in the forecast. 70 mile per hour Northern winds are scheduled for Tuesday evening. These seasonal changes have caused my insides to scream for cozy yarns. I forecast lots of knitting in my blog's future. Today I was thrilled when I received this.

My Christmas Knitpicks order. I have a lot of knitting to do this Christmas season! Here is my favorite.

This beautiful hand painted sock yarn will become a pair of socks for me. I can't wait to get started on them, but I wont let myself begin until I finish the green pair of socks. Speaking of unfinished projects, I have a pile of them I am trying to complete. Today I worked on hemming pants, sewing potholders, and I finished a quilt top that I haven't worked on in years.

These are some Christmas gifts that are almost complete. Below is another that I am really happy with so far. It an owl cable hat. I need another ball of yarn to finish it. I thought I ordered another ball in this shipment from Knitpicks but it looks like I forgot to order it. I guess I will have to make another Knitpicks order now. Oh darn!

There was also a little crafty instruction going on. She embroidered for a good half hour.

What did you do this weekend?
