<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.ravelry.com/designers/mia-durand">Mia's</a> "The Sometimes Scarf" pattern is a lesson in yarn selection. From her Ravelry page "<span style="background-color: white;">This scarf got its name because of its versatility. Depending on the yarn and hook used to construct the scarf it can take on an entirely different personality every time you make one." I call this pattern AWESOME!!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.ravelry.com/designers/crystal-koat">Crystal's</a> In the Deep Blue Sea hat pattern is great for the new and experienced colour work knitter alike, a quick stash buster and all around adorable! What I like about it most is that is a perfect unisex pattern. There are not too many hats that BOTH my son and daughter would happily wear exact replicas of, but this one hits the mark! (not an easy feat!!). And now, with thanks to Crystal's generosity, you have a chance to win a copy of your own! <strike>Just leave a comment with your email and/or rav ID by midnight EST on Tuesday, November 19th and I will announce the randomly selected winner on Wednesday. </strike> Good luck everyone!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a knitted version of an island made ragdoll called Cobo Alice that was popular in Guernsey during the Victorian era. <br style="line-height: 1em;" />She was made by the Guille family who lived on the West coast of the island at Cobo, hence her name. The whole family including the children, were engaged in making these dolls, they became so popular. <br style="line-height: 1em;" />The original dolls had cloth bodies and clothing made from oddments of material in a variety of colours and a stockinette head. The doll was filled with sawdust and the head features painted on later, often rather crudely!<br style="line-height: 1em;" />This knitted version is an attempt to capture as many of the doll’s original features as possible so that she will be instantly recognisable to the Islanders of Guernsey and beyond, but with a slight softening of her occasional startling features. <br style="line-height: 1em;" />She wears the traditional Guernsey women’s dress of the time, including the distinctive and elaborate sun bonnet (pronounced “bonnay”). <br style="line-height: 1em;" />The original dolls have mostly been lost, having been rotted away by the acidic sawdust filling. Cobo Alices occasionally come up for auction and command high prices.</span></i></div>

<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been lucky enough to have been gifted a copy of this pattern by Sara and I was hoping to attach my version here on this post, but I am still waiting on my doll eye order to come in. I can tell you it's a wonderfully written pattern and my daughter actually gasped out loud when she looked at all the pictures. The details are absolutely precious. I will be sure to show my finished product here soon!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do love a good Halloween knit, but I suppose a goblin hat no matter how cute it is, has limited re-wearability. <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/designers/jenny-borders"> Jenny's </a> Fingerless Mittens pattern of a spider is subtle enough that you can wear it out for trick or treating to add some festiveness and then easily used the rest of the fall for that punk chic look.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One day I will teach one of my lovely girlfriends how to knit. I know they want to, I can just tell :-) And when I do I am going to make this their second project. And we will all knit one in co-ordinating colours and choreograph a dance together. Ok fine, maybe we'll just start with the knitting.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have a confession. I am in a knitting funk. I'm having a major case of startitis. I'll knit something for a night, put it down and never go back to it. How do I get out of this funk? I feel like I need to frog everything I have on the go. Lighten up my stash of yarn I know I will never ever knit with. I need to pick a pattern. I need to buy brand new yarn for that specific pattern. (Buying new yarn will surely help, don't you think? Come on. Agree with me). I need to start that pattern and finish that pattern and don't start anything else until I do. What do you think? What do you do when you get in that funk?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maybe I need to start to knit socks. Like fellow blogger <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/designers/natalie-b-of-keeping-us-in-stitches"> Natalie's</a> Crosshatch pattern? It's a good one! Great for handpainted yarn. Handpainted yarn will help, don't you think ;-)?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's 10,000 degrees in Toronto right now. I'm not complaining mind you, I love the heat, I love the humidity. Bring it on. But the word "refreshing" sounds especially appealing these days. The thought of wearing a cowl in this heat wave right now makes me want to break out in hives, but it really is the perfect Toronto casual evening accessory when we get back into our normal weather routine of cooler nights. I love<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/designers/cori-schrader"> Cori's </a>yarn selection for this design as well, the Noro Ayatori really makes the piece shine.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Do you have a little musician in your home? My neighbour teaches piano across the street and I often hear nervous key strokes humming through the air. It's not grating by any means, in fact it gives me some nostalgia from my own childhood. We were very musical, all of us always learning some instrument or another. I played trombone in grade school because my best friend at the time chose it, so of course I did too. When we were handed the instruments the next day she had this confused look on her face because what she really meant to ask for was the clarinet. Don't ask me how you confuse a clarinet with a trombone. She dropped out of the band within a month and I was left playing Slide and the Family Bone all by my lonesome. I was actually pretty good even though I felt like a dork hauling that giant case to and from school.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This cute little Felted Flute or Recorder (or Clarinet) Bag designed by<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/designers/shelley-caskey"> Shelley</a> would be well loved by your budding musician. Hopefully they don't get confused in their instrument choice, because a felted trombone case would take a lot of yarn.</span><br />

She's a headband kinda girl. Her eyes widened as she spotted something new she had never seen before. "Mommy, what is this?". "It's a scrunchie. You don't know what a scrunchie is???" Am I old? Is she young? Will the next generation think all hair ties are the tiny black rubber no snag deals? How is this possible?! </span><br />

I was instantly drawn to it since my kids regularly ask to make the trek to "Rock Mountain" several times a weekend up north. Don't let the name intimidate you. It's a 50 yard walk from the foot of our cottage to a slight incline off our little road that is made out of some sort of shiny rock and has an equally pretty spattering of pocket sized stones strewn across it. Naturally, my domino loving daughter excitedly started to collect perfectly sized domino rocks and we are slowly building up our collection to complete a set. (She has discerning taste, afterall the rocks have to be juuuust right, you see).<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While the roster of pieces grow, Ella and I have been brainstorming in the meantime on other rock game crafts we could come up with. And her clever idea was Tic Tac Toe rocks. After quickly painting on some X's and O's in (sadly) the only available colours we had on hand (20 lbs of stuff in our craft bin and all we have are orange and red? seriously??) "But we need something cool for the board". Say no more, little one... now that is right up my alley! A reversible little double knit Tic Tac Toe board was made expeditiously and we were all playing game after game before we knew it. </div>

I was tempted to knit a case for it, and I still might eventually. But for now, it's found a home on a table off in a little nook. Easy for all to quickly get a game in here and there.</div>

I've written up the pattern, which is so simple it's almost embarrassing to publish. But your little rock collector will be glad you whipped one up for them ;-)<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">At 7 inches tall and a quick knit, I think <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/designers/tanya-brooks">Tanya's</a> Cheeky Little Monkey would perfectly replace a bow on top of any baby shower gift and be sure to get the compulsory ooohs and aahs. I have a few of those coming up, I think I need to pick up some brown felting yarn!</span><br />
