Halloween in Space - Day One

The works in progress are beginning to pile up around here:

• National Parks blanket is big enough to require a lot of space when I want to pull it and all the different colors out.  It gets set to one side frequently.  Much of the yarn came from Knitted Wit.
• Vacillate is the Doctor Who shawl I started with some birthday yarn.  It is coming along well.  I am attempting to alternate it with other stuff.
• Astrifiammante is a beaded lace scarf.  The pattern was created in memory of a woman on Ravelry who recently succumbed to cancer.  It is nearly half done.  I also did a pair of Bellybuttonknits socks in her honor.  She did a lot of great lace and sometimes also beaded sock patterns.
  
• Peached are two knitted peaches that need blocking to be finished.
• Jane and Hercule are pairs of socks that require blocking.  Someone has been watching a lot of Agatha Christie and had to do the socks.
• Kodiak Bears are a pair of slippers I whipped up last night.  They require felting, so it might be  some time before that happens.
• Halloween in Space is scheduled to start tomorrow. I cheated and opened the first box now.
  
  The pumpkin lights up and flickers as if it had a candle inside.  Looks like at least one sock toe will be sparkly purple and green.
