Happy Halloween! It’s too late to knit up this lil cutie, but remember it for next year! It’s called Spirited Spirits, on Ravelry. Three color rows at points. Ugh. But, very cute!
I knit this with Cascade 220. My project page has a few more details.

From Susan — Knit Me a Basket
Sister Surly is quite generous to me. For my birthday, she got me the yarn to make Belfair, a super cute sweater that she was knitting for herself. The yarn is Woolfolk Luft, which was purchased from Wool & Company (free shipping!!). I chose the color, though I maybe should have chosen differently (?). Too late now!!
Color is impossible to capture. It is a rusty, brick red. What I like about the pattern is that at every transition, the basket weave pattern is maintained. This shows where the fronts are picked up from the back shoulders (top-down construction):
I honestly couldn’t tell where the back stopped and the fronts began. Same with the sleeves:
The pattern even changes at the sleeve join, but you still can’t tell! This is such a cozy, wearable sweater and a really fun knit!! Be forewarned: there are seams!! The ease is supposed to be 14-20 inches. Mine is probably around 14″. That sounds like a lot, but really isn’t.
Sweater weather is here and I have a new sweater to wear!!
PS to Amy: It is a nice color after all! The pictures are pretty accurate.
PS2 to Millie: the holes are made with yarnovers (and decreases).
PS3 to Chloe: I can’t make any guarantees!!

From Susan — They Didn’t Fall Far From the Tree
These little acorns are too cute to resist! They just take a few yards of worsted yarn, and a little bit of time. The perfect little break from a large project!
The pattern is free: Fall Festival Acorns from Blue Sky Fibers.
