I am so glad that I live in a world where there are Octobers. – L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
It was a perfect October weekend. One that included a trip to our farmer’s market, glorious blue skies, and yes – even a pumpkin donut! I also made a big pot of chili on Sunday.
And, while there were no new yarn acquisitions – I am going to take Mary’s advice on bracelet-length sleeves and so Tegna sleeve knitting has begun in earnest. Why, I even managed to rip out (literally) the too loose neck edge and reknit it with the correct sized needles!
I also made some progress on my Aisé and I am very happy with how it looks. The sparkle in the kidsilk yarn is not at all overwhelming but I am not sure how well it shows up in a photograph.
However, today I can no longer ignore the sweater that I need to seam up for a friend and there will be no knitting until that is completed! And, once that is done this cake is next on my agenda!
What does your Monday include?
WOW, that Apple cake looks fantastic!
Your Monday post is full of delights – a beautiful sky, progress on your gorgeous Tegna, just the right amount of sparkle in Aisé, and the prospect of an apple cake. You have mastered the art of starting your week out right!
Such lovely knitting! 🙂 My Monday is full of kick-boxing, a movie, laundry, and . . . rain. Lotsa rain.
I’ve heard great things about that cake. Enjoy your day!
Your plan to bake that cake inspired me to do so also. It’s in the oven. Can’t wait to have a piece!
My Monday included some errands and tidying up of paperwork. This chilly evening I am going to put on some flannel pj’s, make a cup of tea, and find my knitting. We are traveling in a few days so I will be away from the blogs.
um yum … blue skies, pretty yarn and cake!! I bought buttons yesterday to finish a sweater (well, it also needs to have have sleeves seamed) and I’m hoping to find the finishing mojo soon!
Sounds like you had a wonderful Autumn weekend. Love the knitting.
I really hope that cake was as divine as it sounds!
