Pretty soft things & A Request for Help
28-Sep-09
I have been taking photos of Classic Elite’s Alpaca Sox , which means that I have to handle all the hanks, see the new colors and appreciate the feel. This is usually when I get in trouble with stash related issues. This time no such thing. I did pick a hank and put it away into a basket intended as a house warming gift. Hah, how is that for not feeling guilty!
And, of course, there are some new colors. Here is my favorite and it happens to be a solid color. We call it Velvet Plum and it is lovely. Â
I would rather wear this color near my face so I would most likely opt out of socks and go for a hat or a scarf but that is just me. Of the new multi-colors I think the Moss-Malachite
 and Lapis is lovely. And then there is the rather unique Fall/Winter color line that we have named “Please name this color.” Â
 That concludes the yarn related portion of this post and I go on to the next topic where I ask for your help.Â
I need to come up with Halloween themed snacks that are healthy and fun for kids. Minimum baking and cooking would be great. A smoking bowl full of eyeballs would be lovely but how can I achieve that with healthy food that is actually edible? Anything gruesome and/or funny and edible would be great. And one final note, no candy allowed.
Hope you are all well and knitting and crocheting with a smile. And, hope to see you here tomorrow.Â
