I noticed it a couple of days ago as I was sitting on the screen porch at the stuga. At first it was subtle and I paused to question if the temperature felt different. A few seconds later a gust of wind answered my inquiry...yes...it feels like fall is coming. I wrapped up in a shawl for the rest of the morning but by the afternoon things had warmed up.
The past two days have felt completely like summer is leaving and autumn is coming, which has put my "seasonal" clock into survivor mode.
I spent all of saturday and sunday knitting, as if a blizzard was expected to roll in at any moment.
It's not as if I've never knitted a thing for winter in my life, or that our knitted wear stash has disappeared. None the less, a few things have gone on the needles.
So what's on my needles?
I'm making this wonderful hat from Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton called Tillberga hat,made from Noro Transitions yarn. Is what makes this so special is that Noro doesn't make this yarn anymore. Well aren't I special? ........No.......it's more like if you wait long enough to knit "said" project, the yarn will almost be extinct and unavailable. Like I would let such a thing happen. :)
The next project on my little sticks is a fingerless glove pattern which I found over at "House on Hill Road". I'm doing it a little differently than Erin. She knit it in the roundd which makes for quick finishing of the gloves but I have a great need of a thumb hole/slot and I can't figure out how to do it in the round, hence the flat knitting.
I'm glad we have a few days of summer left ......you know....before winter blows in and I need my hat and gloves. At least we won't freeze.
Anybody else knitting for winter yet? If so leave me a comment and let me know what, and if you have it on your blog or ravel ry leave me a link so I can come and take a peak.
Happy Knitting!!!!
