Halloween Mistake #2

.... or more appropriately titled "Know Your Target Audience."

Fall church carnival again... this time I'm feeling completely inventive and unique and go dressed entirely in black, with a cool beret and some black rimmed glasses.

I kind of forgot how young most of our church is.... and spent the entire evening explaining what a beatnik was.

Maybe I should have carried a set of bongos and recited poetry.

I felt really old. Really! - I had no idea people these days did not know what a beatnik was.

Oh yes - that's Kaity on my left, a flapper, and Lilly on the right in a wetsuit with a dolphin on her head, being a dolphin trainer. Now, that costume really was brilliance. She carried a little pail of swedish fish candy, labeled "bait" and made all the little kids do tricks, then she'd toss them a fish. Brilliant. Why didn't I go with that one... Because I'm not getting into a wetsuit - that's why.

In the fiber news.... check out this pretty Polar Morn Kaity spun up for me! It's about 145 yards of spinny Merino perfection - destined to be wrist warmers.

Wrist warmers - like I need another pair of those. It's 90-ish degrees outside today, the Santa Ana winds are blowing like nobody's business, and in the back country, about 7 miles from us, is a brush fire that's burning, going on the 4th week now. All we've had for weeks now is heat, smoke, and ash.

Yeah - I think I'll work on my wool Fair Isle sweater and make me some wrist warmers.

Ya know what??? I can knit whatever I want. It's a pretty little fantasy world I live in, and quite a bit colder, too.
