YARN ALONG


Everyone must take time to
sit and watch the leaves turn. 

~Elizabeth Lawrence


 Autumn did arrive
here in the south
and I am loving it,
sitting outside as
much as I can,
and finishing another Annabel.
This time A Pink Annabel is
 off the needles,
 just waiting on
buttons and a good
blocking.
 The wind has really
been blowing,
.

covering the ground with
the prettiest leaves, cool
sea breezes and no humidity,
making it hard to go inside,
instead still sitting  at the
outside table knitting needles
in hand, concentrating on
finishing The Brown Annabel.
After this one is finished,
I will only have one more
to complete by Christmas,
then I really need to get
some mitts finished for all
my guys.
 
I finished Home and loved it,
and now am falling into
Linking up with Ginny.

  9. What an amazingly vibrant pink that is...it will really cheer up any winter day.

    I hadn't heard of those two Barbra Kingsolver books although I'v read The Lacuna and The Poisenwood Bible...I enjoyed both oh and Prodigal Summer which is quite different...I loved it, not so much for the romance but the log cabin and the nature surrounding it...that would be my perfect location.

    Happy reading and knitting.

    I haven't even started on Solstice gifts yet. The Elf started his gift for the Imp yesterday. I'm being upstaged by a ten year old! (:

  24. I love love love that pink!!! And your photos are amazing!!

    I read Barbara Kingsolver's Animal Dreams for school-- a bit of an odd book, in my mind. I find it funny that nearly all her covers look the same-- I thought you were reading the book I read! silly me!
