Default 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
