Knitty beginnings after a little stop into Knitwit, my favorite yarn shop...
...bracelet making...
...the jewelry shop...
...the new Everyday Skirt from Oliver and S, ready to begin...
...she's got a bit of a pom pom making thing going on right now...
...I'm eager to get started on Alicia's ornaments, and hoping to entice Calvin to join in (it won't be hard)...
...conquering my fear of cables (and charts) with Habitat...
...I do predict this year's fashion trend: pom pom rings...
Oh, what glorious fall weather we've been having around here. Each day has been warm and just perfect for enjoying all the out of doors work and play that must be done this time of year. We're so happy to be spending most of each day outside so comfortably...in the pasture, on bikes, in the garden, on the swings. Ah...
And yet, there's a pull that's happened too, that's always especially strong this time of year. It's the inward pull to start making things. Evening fires call for a project in our hands, and one person with a project soon becomes three or seven. As we set the dates for holiday parties and gatherings, little ones within earshot scurry to their respective project at the moment, eager to start the merry making. I've heard tell of some grand plans for gifts this year. And there's plenty of time left for the completion of them...or a change in the plan two or ten times. I've been making a whole lot too. Knitting, sewing, stitching, and prepping fleece to spin. I can't tell who's leading the way anymore - maybe my new hat knitting inspired some bracelet making. But for sure, their pompoms inspired my new hat project. (It's going to be a pom pom kind of year, I can tell.) It doesn't matter of course who started it, it's clear that we're all doing it. Inspiring and loving the making of things.
Are you feeling it too? Is there lots of making happening in your world?
