Back on November 4th, it was the last day for Fear Deluxe Admission so Ryan, Bill, and I decided to go to Cox Farms. We wanted Shane to come with us, but he was busy. To help stagger people in the attractions we got a card telling us what time slots we had for each event. We started with The Forest, then to the Cornightmare, and finished with the Darkside Hayride. I did like the hayride the best because there were a lot more haunt actors appearing from almost nowhere. The party barn was my favorite part, along with the falling fence bit. I'm glad we all went together.

| Pattern: Swirling Drop Hat - Yarn: unknown blue cotton dk - Needle: US 6 |
I thought I had finished this a while ago, but had left it halfway through the last row. I thought by using a smaller hook and slightly thinner yarn that I could make the hat small enough to fit on Bill's head, but it's still a bit loose. I know it will fit someone, but I don't know if it's too big to be a size made by many people. My new thought on it is to use a bigger yarn again and make one size smaller, so maybe it will be the dimensions that I was hoping for.

| Pattern: Feather and Fan Shawl - Yarn: Sundance Classic Elite Yarn in 6220 (Celery Spring) and 6250 (Straw Hat) - Needle: US 6 |
I only had one skein of the green and used most of six skeins of yellow for the body. I wanted to try making the pattern with random amounts of yarn instead of working up to a certain row like I did when I designed it. I already made a change to the pattern, but I still need people to test it since I've been the only one to knit it so far.
