Knitting Pattern Idea
I love everything about this stunning lace wrap! Such a warm & cozy burnt orange color, beautiful detailing....just ideal for autumn! I came across this pattern on Etsy in the California based shop FickleKnitter....the pattern is available to purchase and download (it has been tech edited and tested.) What a great project to kick off fall. Happy Knitting! xoxo

Love these....
I am addicted to fingerless gloves. They are a perfect knitting project....you can use your creativity, play with color combinations, experiment with texture and, best of all, they knit up quick. I recently came across this pattern on Ravelry...it's published by Mac & Me. It's not a free pattern but it caught my eye immediately. Knit with sport weight yarn with small needles, these fingerless gloves are beautiful. I love this artists work...these gloves are my new favorites! Happy Knitting! xoxo
Perfection! This pattern can be purchased on Ravelry. |

All Things Pumpkin
I could lose myself for hours in Williams Sonoma. Come fall....it's like a heaven of all things spicy and pumpkin! I love this Napa Valley Pumpkin Seed Brittle....it's a perfect, yummy blend of pumpkin spice and Indonesian vanilla.
Love these great upcycled pumpkins from Whimsys Workshop on Etsy....super clever & cozy looking! Happy Autumn! xoxo

Knitting Weekend
I am constantly inspired by the work of other knitters. I just came across an artist on Etsy who makes the most amazing wraps and shawls. KnittyStories is based in Lithuania...the shop owner works with mohair and wools and her work is breathtaking. Custom requests are gladly accepted...I would love to order this triangular shawl to wear with jeans and a fitted tee. Happy Knitting! xoxo

Free Day
I so appreciate an occasional free day...no scheduled appointments, meetings or pressing engagements....just a simple day to myself. I'm loving fall and cannot get enough of his chilly weather. Still knitting my cowl....I'm in no rush to finish....I just love this project. I came across these knitted socks. I've never tried socks....I'm completely intimidated by cables....but these are just so cozy & perfect....
I'm not a real big flower person, so when I need to send a gift, I'm always looking for a creative, seasonal alternative. I recently found Sweet Trio! Love this Wisconsin based shop....their items look amazing! You can stop by locally or order on line. Perfect autumn treat!

Simple Monday
It's freezing here today and I'm so thrilled! Bought a great pumpkin spice candle, gathered some wood for the fireplace and went to the market for a huge bunch of basil to toss with pasta tonight. I'm making this Garlic Herbed Pasta that I found on this wonderful food blog Pinch of Yum. Delicious recipes for chilly evenings!
I'm in the middle of knitting the Ombre Cowl still...loving the colors. Working with both Rowan and Cascade yarns currently. My favorite is Black Currant from Rowan...such a rich autumn color!
Found this image on Pinterest, but sadly no source for it....I love the inspiring simplicity. Happy Knitting! xo

Back To School, Friend
I just love looking for new knitting inspiration. I try to share new yarn ideas and free patterns as often as I can. This fab friend sort of popped up on me when I wasn't looking! How charming is she? It's like a knitted Back To School sweetheart! The pattern is on Ravelry (in Tetyana Korobkova's Store) and while it isn't free...it's just too amazing to not pass the word around on. I cannot wait to knit my own Purple Viola Doll! Here's to a wonderful, cozy autumn season! Happy Knitting....xoxo
