It’s that time of year again, when I brew some coffee, or tea, or heat up some apple cider, and choose some songs to listen to ad nauseum while the leaves fall. Want to listen with me?

Treat yourself!
New colors, new patterns, and a bunch of colorful new trinkets to wear! That’s what’s been keeping me busy for the last week or so. I’m happy to finally be finished with all of the work so I can share them with you. Come take a look!

The nice people at Jimmy Beans Wool sent me some samples of their new yarn: Yarn Citizen Harmony Worsted, a wool and alpaca blend, made from recycled fibers. I knit up a little something, and now I have thoughts and pictures to share.

I haven’t completed a knit or crochet item in seven months! It took summer to spur me into action. It took the desire for a lacey cotton cardigan to take with me on our casual nights out. And it took wanting something handmade and lovely to throw over my shoulders if the ocean breeze got to be too much.
