First cool morning...where is my yarn?
I walked my three liittles to school this morning, and it is overcast and a hint of fall in the air.
I got home and pulled out a basket of yarn, anticipating a cool front, and the fun of crocheting to happen! I am hoping to get a LIon king themed blanket started and finished by the end of September. Anyone else get happy at cool weather for a warm lap of an afghan? |

Not an afghan, but I just cast on a a warm, wooly cardigan in a deep burgundy-brownish color that really got me excited for fall to come.

Re: First cool morning...where is my yarn?
Wow- we are so not there yet. I am taking my kids to the waterpark today!
I do love fall crafting, though. I'm not sure what I will make this year but I mostly do simple projects that the kids can help with. One year we made a bunting out of wool felt fall leaves sewn on little white squares of fabric. I need to check pinterest for ideas!

Re: First cool morning...where is my yarn?
There is a fiber festival in my region the end of October and I'm trying so hard not to envision my next project (currently working on a sweater) until I get to go and see all the beautiful, local yarns; but yes, the idea of cooler weather stirs my hearth and home spirit.

It'd be nice if you could pull me into town.

Re: First cool morning...where is my yarn?
Your morning sounds lovely I really need to get busy crocheting more again. I have been working on snowflake ornaments here and there because they are quick to make, but I feel like life has been too busy to do much more. But it's so relaxing, so I should probably make it a priority again.

Re: First cool morning...where is my yarn?
Today it cooled off, just in time as the baby blanket I am knitting has just gotten to sit in your lap while knitting on it. If it was still in the upper 90's I would just leave it be, who wants to sit under a wool blanket when it is that hot.
