Fall knitting

The knitting bug has definitely hit me over the past month. I am finding myself winding down, tired, lazy and wanting to sit in front of the fire, wrapped up in a cozy blanket sipping tea and knitting the evening away. I am trying to organize and plan the projects I want to knit for myself and others for the cooler months ahead. Oh, and as you can see I desperately need a yarn swift, to help me wind my yarn. I enjoy the simplicity of putting my yarn on the back of the chair and watching my yarn ball grow and grow, while thinking of my knitting project. But, halfway through I am done and it always seems to get tangled towards the end which takes me as long to pull out the knots as it does to wind the ball from start to finish. Of course the little ones come and go pulling out a few strings here and there too. One of these days....

I am thinking of knitting this sweater for Kelwyn. I am hoping to have it ready by the Winter Solstice to keep him warm through the dark days of winter. I have some beautiful Noro yarn to knit Adeline a pretty sweater or vest, thinking of this or this.

I am also embarrassed to say I still need to knit the fingerless gloves I promised Slater last winter. I was halfway through knitting one of them last winter, but it was way too big so I stopped the project and have not gotten back to it.

And knitting for myself.....
I love Quince and Co yarn and I love all the patterns they offer. So many to choose from and the yarn colors, oh my!! I also pre-ordered a yarn book coming out in a few weeks. I do not usually buy too many knitting books with the great online resources, but this one looked so wonderful and I would knit everything in it. Lots of cozy nights with my knitting needles and a hot cup of tea. Now, if I could only read and knit at the same time......(sorry to bore all you non knitters out there, loving my fall knitting and wanted to share)
