Autumn Colors on the Pine Trees

 When I looked out of the bedroom window this morning this was what I saw. I had never noticed that the pine needles seemed to change the same way that the leaves do. You can tell that of the different types of pine trees at least three of them have some rust color to them. Greens and rusts are some of my favorite colors. 

Today I took the time to sit at the Lendrum to do some plying. I am plying 4 oz. of Into the Whirled fiber that I purchased a couple of years ago at Maryland Sheep and Wool with some Wild Hare Seronghetti colored fiber that was also a couple of years ago at the same show. This is not the best picture. 

I do like how it is turning out. It is about a fingering weight that reminds me of the Stonehedge Fiber Mill's Crazy yarn. I think it will make a great sweater!

Hello....... Hello....... Are you there?

 It has been a long while since I sat down at the computer to post on this here blog. Time and commitments seem to take over life sometimes which is what has been happening around here. I'm still plugging away at schooling with one class a semester. There is an end in sight. Just not for another year.

I've been knitting. I know that is a shocker. Knitting is what gets me through reading textbooks, watching videos for school and just relaxing when I have a few minutes. I have so many WIPs that I am slowly working my way through. I'm tired of having so many projects on the go and have decided it is time to finish some of them.

This hat is one that I completed last February but didn't get the pompom on it until just this past Sunday. I really like how the pompom turned out---the hat also. But to me the pompom really makes the hat.

Make it a great day and include some knitting.
