Good morning!

How have you been? How are your projects coming along? Even though the warm weather is trying to edge in, in my heart I am knee deep in autumn. No one can stop me!

I'm on the second sleeve of my sweater, making great gains and enjoying the process. I thought the sweater might be a bit off in sizing but I tried it on and I think it's going to be okay. Also blocking does wonders squeezing out a bit of wiggle room. Phew!

    Hooray for fall (even if the thermometer is in the mid 80s) and hooray for a new sweater soon!

    I love the color of your fall sweater. I am almost done with my new hat and my blanket is slow going.

    I LOVE that pattern and the color is perfect for fall AND your coloring. I've been spending a lot of time on the election, and BeSMART, and whole days have gone by where I didn't knit and barely read. At least Lucy makes sure I get out for at least one good walk! Happy FALL!

    That sweater! I love it! And I also like the runner that you have on the coffee table. Brings in that bit of autumn we are so fond of. xx

    I knit the Felix pullover last year and it was quickly a wardrobe favorite. I am working on an Isabell Kraemer sweater with a color work yoke - no surprise there!

    Pretty soon you'll be wearing that lovely sweater.

    I noticed this morning that the trees across from my house are already turning. It's about 3 weeks early.

    What a lovely colour your sweater is. It has definitely cooled here, we have a fire lit this evening.

    You are making such good progress on this beautiful sweater. The pumpkins on the table piece are so sweet too. Hooray for fall.

    Great progress on your sweater. You know I love that color. Even though the days are warm again, the nights and early mornings feel like FALL.

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

  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).
