October is my favorite month of all. If I ever get married (I used to say "when I get married," haha), I'll do so in October. I love the colors, the crisp bite in the air, the changing leaves, the earlier dusk, and getting to wear knits!Vacation's over (boo), and wouldn't you know it? I was terribly sick yesterday, and sick again today, different malady. Argh!!! I still have things to do, but can barely move. Makes the kitties happy though.
I'm happy because I ordered more wool from Aimee at Pancake and Lulu to knit several more Charred Silk scarves! I'm about to start a custom order for one already.
I'm also happy because I have the most lusciously soft Malabrigo in bright orange to knit up. Malabrigo is a gorgeous hand dyed merino wool. My local yarn shops haven't carried it, but just checked out a new shop in San Jose, The Knitting Room, who has a huge selection. Yay! I utilized some restraint, I'm glad to say. I'm sure I'll be back!
I hope you'll check out Angie's blog -- she featured several of my scarves, including Charred Silk (above)! Angie has two Etsy shops: Art by Angie and Jelly Beans. I really love her polka dot paintings at Jelly Beans!
And! She's having a giveaway in her blog this coming week! Be sure to check it out and enter!
