Seasons

I have always really loved the autumn.  This year I just haven't been feeling it, until yesterday.  I think I've been too occupied with being cold in this stone castle, and worrying about the cost of heating it. Then yesterday I went outside and the air was cold, and crisp, and the leaves are falling.  And I felt it again, the love the autumn.

This morning as I let the chickens out I was greeted by this view:



Which inspired casting on a new project:


No matter what I tried I could not get a decent picture of this, but trust me when I say they are going to be fetching fingerless gloves.  Partly inspired by cold hands, but mostly inspired by this. I am stash busting on this as well.

I'm still working away on my other two WIP's, Rori's shrug..............



..............and my stress blanket.  I just love how this blanket is turning out, though my stress levels have been down and I've neglected it this past week.


And if I can control myself the rest of the day, that's it for WIP's.  I am really pleased to say that everything I've been knitting has used only the yarn I have in my stash.  I've been trying to thin the herd before we move, and it really has been great fun.  

Happy Crafting!

  2. Wow, snow on the hills. We have frosts but no snow yet, beautiful view. Love the blanket and the gloves look great too. It's frustrating when you think your picture isn't quite right, looks good to me!
