I have to confess, I remember getting Scarf Style and seeing a cape in it thinking Who would knit that? It didn't look attractive to me. Well give it a few years, some changing trends and here I am knitting a capelet. And I love it.
I took a little time out from the move to take these as soon as I got home from work the other day. My apartment finally looks like things are missing and it feels good to have some progress done!
Happily, my next post will be from my new humble abode. I did manage to acquire a little space for my knitting stuff in our 2nd bedroom. However, my plan on making it a full on craft room was derailed by my husband who is planning on putting a spare TV and his Play Station in there to remind the room that a man lives here too. I'm thinking a Play Station knitted cozy is in the works... right?
I probably won't post before Thanksgiving so with that in mind I really want to say Thank You to you all. For reading, for commenting, and for just inspiring me! I am so thankful for the community of people I've met via this blog and my LYS - it's truly amazing what this here craft can do.
Have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving with a whole lot of turkey, stuffing and pumpkin cookies :-)

That is cute. I may have to rethink my feelings on capelets (I go back and forth constantly).
P.S. Pretty necklace!
