Fall into the Season



Do you see it??  That one golden leaf?  Yep, I think fall is here.  It will be quite some time before I can wear my woolens but this golden leaf holds the promises of sights and sounds to come.  As I entered the grocery store this week I distinctly smelled cinnamon from the scented pine cones they sell.  Ah, what a way to celebrate the fall season!!  So even though it's still hot, I'm excited for chilly days, numb fingers and seeing my breath in the early morning while walking Frodo about the yard.

For all of you early Christmas planners out there, my sister has seven felted Christmas ornaments for sale on Ravelry for a low price.  All of the patterns have been test knitted and each comes with her felting instructions.  Head on over to here to check it out!!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend :)

    I am ready for some cooler temperatures too. Yesterday it was 90 degrees and I am as red as a cooked lobster [yes, I did put on sunscreen]. I have already begun my snow wishing so my fingers are crossed.
    Have a great weekend.

    The Indian summer seems to be continuing according to the forecast at least until the weekend. Although the skies are deep blue and the days warm, early mornings have a chill to them that reminds me autumn is on it's way along with pumpkins and homely puddings and time to read and knit....
    Hope you have a golden weekend...

    It's in the eighties here today, and we've not had rain for almost 50 days! I'm enjoying the good weather, but the trees are looking very thirsty as they're not used to long dry spells. Heard that Starbucks now has pumpkin spice lattes, another sign of fall.....and the holidays soon to follow. Yikes!

    I am anticipating the coming of fall too, can't wait! I like to say it is my favourite season, but really they all are. I think what I really like is the shift in seasons, the changes and the beauty that each one brings.

    Enjoy your weekend.

    I love moving into the seasons with other bloggers. It's so cool to see the changes through your eyes. That one golden leaf tells it all.

    We are seeing some golden leaves as well. Doesn't seem possible does it? But, I definitely am welcoming fall.

    Although fall is my favourite I'm not quite sure I'm ready. But ready or not - here it comes!

    this may as well be a picture of me, last week, standing out in the driveway and staring (with a big smile) at the one little crinkled red maple leaf that had turned and fallen to the ground...... and yep, same scented stuff in our local grocery- except actually I think they are cinnamon scented brooms at this point.

    happy almost fall!

Knitting News

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
