The Fall chill is in the air and this gal is NOT complaining. I love this weather, in fact, I thrive in it. I've always been very sensitive to the heat and I get heat stroke at the drop of a hat. So I welcome Fall with open arms! Bring on the orchard visits, the art fairs, the garden harvest, and my favorite - Halloween!
Fall is also the best sweater making weather. Knitters get funny looks when working up a project in the dead heat of Summer, in Fall it is natural to everyone to see that warm, cozy wool on the needles. My current project is the Heathered Cardigan by Melissa Schaschwary. The yarn is from my previous sweater project, the Feathernest sweater from Interweave Knits. I liked the sweater, I just didn't like it on me. Three quarter length sleeves don't flatter me at all, and I'm one of those who likes to pull my sweater sleeves over my hands. I really dig the top down construction and I always appreciate a well written pattern. I am just crossing my fingers that I have enough yarn. I had one skein left over from the Feathernest, if I end up using all of that then I will have to purchase more superwash wool from Knit Picks and hope the dye lots match. Wish me luck.
I will be posting more knitting and spinning projects soon! Happy Fall!
