I love to knit year-round, it’s true. But when the calendar turns to September, my desire for it increases even more. I love watching quick, easy, weather-appropriate objects fly off the needles.
Case in point? This awesome Nice and Knit beanie, done up in their Harpoon color way. Finished in just a few hours, and as soft as can be. The pattern is perfect- and free to boot.
I bound off the last stitch, and thought, “That was fun.”
And then cast on for another one.

(Typical.)

*Sidenote:  We added on a big south-facing room this summer, full of windows. I took these photos in there this evening, on a grey, drizzly day. The light in there is enough to make me squeal. It makes my stomach turn in the best way. ‘Loving it, and feeling grateful.

Sometimes, I’m in the middle of a project that is turning long and tedious. It can be knitting a lace sweater, editing tons and tons of photos, or painting the sunroom. (Or all three, lately…) Sometimes you just gotta’ take a little break. Problem is, I have to get something done during that break.

So I find myself sitting in the sunshine, knitting up two little lambs for no reason at all, except to give to someone special.

Meet Hubert and Eunice.

(If you’re a knitter, it’s a great, quick pattern- just a few hours of happy knitting, stuffing and sewing. You’ll smile most of the time.)

And now, it’s back to those projects. (And laundry. Sigh…)
