Fall is Upon Us

The weather has been getting deliciously chilly (except for yesterday which was 85 degrees) and it makes knitting all that more enjoyable. Now is the time of year you can actually wear the socks you knit all summer instead of just sitting back and admiring them from afar. As of right now I have 4 pairs of handmade socks all to myself! 2 pairs are from my knitting guru and I made the other 2. I love all my socks dearly, but I do get the inkling sometimes that 4 pairs jsut isn't enough. I need to make more! I need to have more! I need to wear more!

During the hot summer months I dont have this feeling quite as often. Oh don't get me wrong, I am just as obsessed with knitting socks as any other time of the year, but during the fall and winter I WANT socks for myself more. I have already planned for 3 pairs that I am going to knit for myself, the Snowflake socks, the Leyburn socks and the beachy colored socks that I have already started so I am all set for a while. I am not at my regular computer today so no pictures but I wrote about them in an earlier post.

Another thing I want to do is start spinning again! I haven't touched either one of my spinning wheel since June when it started getting too hot. My house isn't that cool in the summer so if I try to spin the wool tends to felt in my hands...yuck! But my mission for the next week will be to dust off and oil my spinning wheels so they will be in perfect working order. I can't wait! I LOVE this time of year! =)
