In honor of Halloween
This is my favorite Halloween costume ever and is also one of my favorite pictures of me and Ariel.
I'm Rainbow Brite, she's Twink. This picture is from 1986, so I was almost 5 and she was 2. Mom made the costumes, and looking at the picture now I'm remembering all the little details. Ariel has a star sprinkles pouch. All the rainbow rings on my costume are individually padded. So impressive!
Here's York at the stage I've left it. Stupid Zipper. I'll tackle it another day.
I also did a gauge swatch for Rogue. Here comes the most interesting picture evar!
I swatched with 3 needle sizes, 8s, 7s, and 6s. I got 4 st/in with the 8s, 4.25 with the 7s, and 4.75 with the 6s. None are exactly on with the 4.5 required in the pattern, so I think I'll go with the 7s and knit the smaller of the two sizes I've been waffling between.
Last, but not least, my new hair color and cut.
