Sox & Cowl

Add another pair to my sock drawer!

Meet Molly Weasley 
a fantastic colorway
hand-dyed by Amanda of GnomeAcres
When I caught a glance of
Amanda's colors
I knew I had to have ! ! ! 

Her Arthur Weasley colorway
is now in the midst 
of becoming a cowl.

Speaking of cowls,
how 'bout this cowl!


Can't get enough of this wonderful Saffron color from MadelineTosh yarns.

As you can see by my 
KnitMeters on the sidebar
I've been a knittin' this calendar year.
I'm amazed by these totals!



************************

Summer has gone away. .  .  .  .
Our weather is, well, 
autumn-like.  

Just enough of cooler temps 
to have us digging out 
a sweater or a hoodie. 


Leaves cover the driveways, 
as well as the entire yard - 
both front and back,

There's been a crack or two of thunder 
along with a bit of rain,

gusty winds causing mini leaf storms.

Thoughts of a nice hot cup of 
- - -
well, you fill in the blank 
- - -
dark roasted coffee?

a robust black tea?

or perhaps a pungent herbal tea?

spicy mulled cider in a mug?

How 'bout a
spicy pumpkin mocha topped with whipped cream 
with just a sprinkle of nutmeg?

we could add a warm Apple Tart !!!



We'll be bringing out the knit hats soon,
very soon.

Enjoy our Autumn 

hugs

  3. I've been out and about this morning and wish I had a warm jacket, that air is sharp. I'll take a cup of hot tea with a scone as my treat. You wear that cowl very well.
