Are you there blog? It’s me, Knittymuggins.
Did you think I’d fallen off the face of the earth? It’s been a busy spring & summer, everything sort of a mingled blur of preschool events, playdates, appointments, and trying to fill up the long summer hours without the whole preschool routine to rely on.
But, as I stepped out of my car yesterday morning, I could smell it: overripe blackberries, crushed, damp, foliage, and just the hint of a chill. The smell I long for every year that tells me Autumn is coming; the season I yearn for. Cool mornings and afternoons of warm, honeyed sunshine replace the white hot glare of summer, everywhere there are pumpkins, and my mood turns to contemplation. The perfect time to start visiting this space again and sharing all my projects and thoughts with all of you lovely readers.
And boy is there a lot of knitting to share! I have been a veritable knitting machine over the last few months. It’s satisfying and rewarding and altogether necessary to survive life with a three year old. Anyone who tells you that the twos are “terrible” hasn’t lived through the threes yet! At least not the way things are going in our household. That’s not to say that Knittymunchkin isn’t an angel 99% of the time. But that last 1% can really stick it to you when you least expect it.
But you wanted some pretty pictures, didn’t you? I thought so. Here’s some of my latest FO’s with the bare minimum of details (you can check out specifics on my Ravelry project page).
And believe it or not, there’s more FO’s that I just haven’t had the chance to photograph yet! But I hope to share those soon.
Hope your summer has been wonderful and that you are as excited about this autumn as I am! I’m happy to be back :)
