impulsive autumn cast on

happy first day of autumn, northern hemisphere.

new socks in time for cooler temps. pattern: broken rib toe-up sock by amy swenson yarn: knit picks felici sock yarn, arcade afternoon colorway

the green sweater is primed for seaming, the arcade socks are blocking, and a new autumn knit is underway.

there was a slight dip in temperature and a steady breeze this morning, so obviously it's time for fall.

player one and player two socks in progress.

the only christmas present on this year's list is complete. pattern: ribbed toe-up sock by amy swenson yarn: west yorkshire spinners signature 4 ply, robin colorway

a pile of cool greens on this scorching summer day.

at last, a colorful new addition to the wardrobe. pattern: diagonal knit tunic by yarnspirations yarn: knit picks comfy color mist, dahlia colorway

just knitting up some stash.

pattern: tegan baby hat with top knot by julie taylor yarn: various wools in natural and botanical dyes

as is traditional, the sweater becomes wearable just as the weather becomes unbearable (for so much wool). pattern: honeycomb aran by gayle bunn yarn: brown sheep nature spun worsted, ash colorway

these sillies will hopefully be enjoyed by their intended recipient. pattern: modified tiny baby bunnies by mochimochi land yarn: west yorkshire spinners signature 4-ply, nutmeg colorway; knit picks stroll hand painted, train station colorway

glowing gems on a rainy day.

the beige sweater may not yet be seamed, but this wee pup was a worthy distraction.

pattern: brie the dog by maya does crochet yarn: malabrigo sock, chocolate amargo colorway

apparently i've entered my neutral era: it's beige or gray or christmas red/green this autumn and winter. spring must be ushered in with a riot of color...

two other projects may be in progress and will get no closer to being finished if i begin a third...but on the other hand, a cozy cowl would be quick, surely?

hollies are in season all year, yes?
