Sweater Weather is Here

Blustery, Cloudy, Cool! This is our weekend weather forecast for northern Illinois. I don’t mind—it’s sweater weather!

I went through my older photos and found my warmest looking fall sweaters. Most of these are knit with a fingering weight Peruvian Highland wool.

These tiny sweater were all made for Kish’s little BJD, Lisbet. She came before Amelia Thimble and is slightly larger. I hand dyed all (except natural, of course) of the lace yarn (merino/silk) in fall colors.

Bethany’s sweater was knit with a Sport weight wool to make an even warmer sweater for chilly fall weather.

This striped sweater for Patsy was a “weaving in ends” project, but I love how it turned out.

Fall is Colored Brightly 742

Gina’s natural colored sweater was knit with a fingering weight wool/angora yarn.

orange you ready for fall 141

If it’s cool where you are I hope these photos warmed you up a bit.

Cozy fall weekend wishes to everyone in this half of the world!

Bye for now and thank you for reading along.

Cotton Candy Anyone?

I never liked eating cotton candy much at all (no idea why, all kids do), but this yarn I ~~like~~ love very much. Whenever I knit with this pink mohair/silk yarn I am reminded of cotton candy in those food stalls at the fair, fun and happy times. Come to think about it, I have always been in a good mood when I am knitting with this pink yarn.

Today I collected photos of my cardigans in this sweet color. There aren’t as many as there are in the white, but still fun to see all together in a group.

So which color do you like better? The white is very versatile and makes great “fur” trim for Christmas pieces, but the pink is delectable sweetness.

This is the first weekend of fall (in this part of the world). Hope you have a great one!

Bye for today and thanks for reading!

Does Anyone Feel Like a Little Bit of Snow?

Fuzzy white mohair yarn that look like snow, that is. I’ve used this yarn for little cardigan sweaters a LOT. I was wondering how much, so I gathered up my photos and made a little collection here. They are not all winter sweaters, but even in the middle of summer they’ve always reminded me of fluffy snow.
