Autumn Ahead

A welcome sign to me is the first Big Leaf Maple leaves just beginning to fall, and I believe I saw a few on the road-side today, while driving up the mountain !  And it appears as though Autumn Cardigans are well on their way too !   I thought I’d be really thrifty and frugal (and prudent) to use up a pile of about six skeins of light turquoisey tweed left over from a project last October, and well, it only got me this far !  Blast.. that’s the last ball of that, right there on top, with only the body and one sleeve finished (minus yoke & second sleeve and button bands). So no problem, I’ve ordered more, 3 more skeins for Niece Of Thirteen’s cardigan.

Here is the yarn for  Niece Of Ten’s cardigan will be this deep coral pink with mossy green peeries… won’t that be fun?

    • Morrie, this tweedy yarn is fun, but I think a little too flecked. Next time I’m looking forward to Donegal Tweed ! 🙂 Oh, hey, did I tell you I found my Donegal Shade Card I thought I lost?

    • Right Martha, I saw all those cute little comments. (You moved???) I hope the girls’ Autumn Sweaters will be done in time… I’m kinda wondering, and worrying. I hope you’re well too !

    • Aww, thank you Kelly ! I think the ‘safe’ colors of Thirteen’s blue & cream will maybe be a little unexciting, but she’ll like it much more ! And Ten’s sweater, you just wait… everybody will be saying… ‘what’s that… pink and… and green???” … much bolder colorway !

    • Lizzi, as I was just remarking elsewhere , the ‘safe’ colors of blue & cream are so much more the fashion statement of the wearer, whereas youngest 10-yr old will let me get away with a wee bit of experimentation. Pink and… and green???” … much more fun colorway !

I'd love to hear what you have to say...
