Joining with Ginny at Small Thing's for this week's Yarn Along.
This week I finished up a slouchy hat for Phoebe. However it has been so hot here, that it was only tried on for a moment before it was taken off again. I am now knitting one for myself in a very autumn mustardy color. It's not a color that I normally wear, but I have been feeling drawn towards it lately. I had some in my stash from a trade with a friend, so why not?
I am craving cooler weather. Knitting weather. I have so many projects that I want to start, but I am trying to restrain myself and keep it to one (or two) at a time. I often tend to overwhelm myself with self-imposed projects (like knitting, reading, or sometimes even blogging-- heck, my Netflix list overwhelms me sometimes. Seriously.)... so I am working on that. If I always have a huge in-progress pile, there is not as much satisfaction when something is complete.
I am still reading Gideon the Cutpurse. It is good, but not completely captivating. So, I also started reading Clash of Kings, the second in the Game of Thrones Series. That one IS addicting, but very long. See-- this is how it happens. I like to start things and also don't like to abandoned things I have started. Then I just have piles of knitting, books, and other projects all over the house waiting for my attention!
What are you reading? What are you knitting?
Pin It Now!
The last few years I have found myself drawn to the same mustardy yellow, there is just something about it that I love.
ReplyDeleteI am wishing for cooler weather too, we had a tease for a few days, but now the heat is back.
I've been craving cool knitting weather and now that I'm enjoying it I feel a bit sad of letting the summers heat go ;-) Savour the last hot days with happy winter knitting ahead. Your beautiful picture already points the way!

I know the cooler weather will be here before we know it. That's about the only thing I like about the cooler weather - it's time to wear all those hand knits! Ha ha - my Netflix list gets to me too. Seriously - how much can I watch TV?
ReplyDeletei get you on the cooler knitting weather. i want a bit of a chill, but i guess i'll have to be ok with the low 90's. LOL
ReplyDeleteMustard yellow has always been a favorite of mine-and it goes so well with so many other colours!
ReplyDeleteOur cool weather has arrived and I find it just makes me want to knit more than I possibly ever could! (aka...buy more yarn than I should. haha)
That's funny, I just picked up a yellow yarn to knit myself a hat, not quite mustard, but yellow is not something I would usually be drawn to :)
ReplyDeleteHappy knitting!
Cute picture! :) Recently the weather has been cooler where I live, but sometimes we still have some warm days.
ReplyDeleteI love your mustard color and that you are making yourself a hat :) Lovely! Great big pumpkin you got there :)
ReplyDeleteYou should see my pile of started and abandoned knitting projects....I don't usually do that but somehow knitting overwhelms me in a different way. Your photo is so beautiful and autumn-y!
