Well, that was a sudden end to a mild #fall.
I guess La Belle Dame Sans Merci got a little impatient.

Finished this over a month ago, but since it was too warm to wear, it languished on the to-be-blocked pile. Now day highs are in the low Celsius teens, and I'm ready.

The #CrochetAway theme for this week is latest FO. I've been squirreling away on hats for the YSB Christmas hampers, and every now and then, one of them is #crochet. 🧶

Perfect timing. I just pulled this blanket back out as evenings get cooler.

That also means a lot of ground apples, so more apple sauce. Hmmm, or maybe cake? Pie? Crumble?

Its not really cold enough for the winter storage box, but with the dry summer we had, a lot of apples are coming down early, so I picked what came off easily, and here we are.

I have swapped out the cottons and linens for yak silk. #OMG
These scrumptious creams, browns, and olives just scream #fall to me, and the yarn (#PrettyString) has such a halo.

Yes, I knit the sleeves first to avoid Sleeve Island.

A sweater in progress with the sleeves done and needles sticking out the body. The yoke is a 3-colour slip stitch pattern. The same slip stitch is repeated in the sleeves.

This week's #ShowMeYourKnits is #WIP, and I'm squirreling away on a pair of vanilla #socks in a gradient sock yarn (Comfort Wolle). I tend to kinda do 2 at a time by first knitting both toes, then both feet, both heels, both legs, both cuffs, on 2 sets of DPNs.

2 toe-up green-to-grey socks in progress on a light grey fabric background. One sock knit to past the heel, the other almost finished.

The buttons are on my cotton motif sweater, and I can't wait to wear it. This is the perfect time of year for something juuust a tad heavier, but not wooly yet.

The weather has been very fallish for a few days, but one does not simply start the furnace in August. So tea, a blanket, a fire, and a warm knitting project it is.

Success! It's jelling! Proof that you don't need extra pectin to make apple or #CrabappleJelly with Erythritol/ Monkfruit.

This week's #showMeYourKnits prompt is my jam. I live for #ScrappyKnits
They just naturally seem to make #rainbows
6 scrappy projects, mostly in rainbow colours: a sweater, socks, blanket, cowl, shawl, and gloves.
