It’s fall y’all! Here in the Bay Area temperatures are slowly dropping. Last week was all 90’s with smoky air and hazy skies. Today was in the mid-80’s and the weather will go into the 70’s afterwards. About damn time.
I’ve been having pumpkin tea each day to satisfy my fall mood and I recently decorated my mantle with felted, mini pumpkins & little, costumed bears + two, ceramic houses that light up along with a ceramic pumpkin that lights up the word, boo. I added this year a wooden, black, witch’s hat I had seen at Target.
This picture makes me so happy to see how well this fade worked from Treacle Toffee to Keeper of the Keys:
I’m at least two-thirds of the way done with section two of Free Your Fade. *fist pump*
And here are the two, progress keepers – a fall cupcake and a slice of pumpkin pie – that I’m using to give me a visual of how much I’m able to get done in a sitting. Sorry, I can’t remember who made these.
Okie doke, off to knit. I had to frog the baby beanie so I can restart on bigger needles. My gauge was off, especially the row gauge, noticeably so. TTYS.
Your shawl is gorgeous!! The fade of the yarn looks fantastic. I love your progress keepers.
