Rainy, rain go away... it's trick or treat

My husband said to me this morning that it looked like Mother Nature was playing trick on us before we even got the treats! Yep, it's trick or treat in our neighborhood tonite and it will be windy, dark and spooky I'm sure. And that's before the treaters even hit the streets!

So while it's rainy and yucky out, how are you treating yourself? Got something to do. Puuuuullleeaase do not say housework. I know it's a necessary evil but not on a rainy day. That's depressing. Rainy days are for treating ourselves to a break from the routine. Time to curl up with a good cuppa -beverage of choice- tea, coffee, hot chocolate with lots of whipped creme and sprinkles, too! Who says Starbucks can't live at home? Then it's on to a great knitting or crochet project. Got a new one you've been waiting to start? Need to finish the UFO? Why not? That's what rainy days are for. And maybe a few pages of the book that's also vying for a few minutes of your time.

Since I actually felted Big Foot last night, I am goal-oriented to finishing the new scarf. I chose http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dreamy-dune-scarf and http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/crystal-palace-yarns-moonshine---2011 Moonshine -2011 from Crystal Palace. I changed the needles to #9. It's a cute scarf and has a little sparkle too it. Should have a pic later this week.

Here's Big Foot before felting. I used Naturgarn and #15 needle. It was quick and easy. Can't wait til they are dry, which might be next week if it ever stops raining!
