Beach part 2

So...avid readers may be wondering how much I accomplished on my beach trip.
I worked on two projects out of the four. I made a heart dishcloth. and worked more on the big grey blanket.
We were busy playing Rummikub and having fun at the beach!

 Grey blanket with 1 red stripe so far...Knit on circular needles.

 Can you see the hearts? The yarn is a cream/natural color.

Hearts hearts! from this pattern.

I didn't touch the green socks, or start on the embroidery project (which was a good thing).

I am hoping to hand make for Christmas. I do this every year, but this year, I'm really hoping to do it for all my gifts, though possibly Mike will get a present or two that aren't handmade - we'll see if he's lucky.

Also Halloween is swiftly approaching, our party is Saturday. I think my costume is costing $4.99, as I had some of it, bought 1 item, and can borrow some of it too. I also need to make something else for it, and hopefully it will be awesome and funny. It sort of matches Mike's costume, and that will be the funny part. Anyway, pictures later!

Today one of my tasks is to turn the cuff of my sweatshirt. I managed to get bleach on it, so instead of navy, the cuff is pink.
