Autumn makes me want to...



...knit. When autumn breezes begin to blow, the knitting bug always bites. I begin to create to keep myself and the ones I love warm. This year, I'd like to attempt a sweater...we'll see!

ETA - By the way, that's not me in the picture! I was teaching a friend to knit.

Autumn makes me want to...

...read. The beginning of school and the approach of fall has had me in the reading mood. Some of the books I have been reading:

Knit One, Kill Two, Needled to Death, and A Deadly Yarn by Maggie Sefton. I discovered this series while at the murder mystery bookstore Foul Play in Westerville, Ohio. Knitting plus murder mysteries - what could be better?


Sew What! Bags by Lexie Barnes. I picked this up at my local bookstore before my vacation, and the patterns are absolutely inspiring! I can't wait to try some of them out.

I hope you all are enjoying the approach of autumn. What does the coming fall put you in the mood to do?
