OK, fall does not make me all that happy when it's 85 degrees at the beginning of October, but a) according the weather people, it's supposed to actually cool off to appropriate temperatures after tomorrow, and b) I can still put out some of my fall decorations, which make me smile. And let's face it, in this s**tshow of a world, we gotta take the smiles where and when we can!
I've been busy knitting, and have finished a pair of socks that I'll share with you once the recipient has received them. Not that he reads this, but someone who knows him may and I want them to be a surprise. I'm going along well on the cardigan I started, but don't have any recent photos, so you'll have to wait a little bit longer to see what one.
But remember the little acorn I knit a few weeks ago? Well, now he has a leafy friend!
I have to tell you, this little leaf is so fun and so quick to knit - I may end of with LOTS of leaves! This is another part to the garland I have started, and I'm so pleased with how it turned out.
Aren't they cute together??? I'm not making any hurried effort on this, because it's kind of a when-I-feel-like-it project, and fall comes every year.
In keeping with the fall theme, and leading up to Halloween, The Tim bought this Halloween throw for us at one of the Aldi stores nearby. Not bad for $5.00, right?
And on our way to Rehoboth Beach, The Tim wanted to stop at the outlets because he wanted to look for something specific. I bought one of these black cat pillows at one of the stores there. I also got one for Amanda.
This is sitting on the couch in our living room, and let me tell you, it's been quite shocking! So far, only The Tim and I will still sit on the couch. 🙄
Meanwhile, Amanda says their kitty has claimed theirs for herself. Go figure.
That's all the news for now. I hope you are all doing well and knitting, reading, cooking, baking, whatever makes you happy at the moment. I'm off to start dinner (I'm writing this late on Monday afternoon), and it's a good thing because I'm starting to get hungry and sadly, dinner has yet to cook itself ...

I got some "ghost" pillows from Ikea for my daughter... they were a bit hit! (and apparently they are even excellent in pillow fights... as my grandson told me! LOL) I like your knitting! (and I have put that "kit" on my buy list... you are right, adding a bit when the mood strikes is perfect!)
I put my Fall decorations out this past week too. Luckily, it is raining today and so it will cool off now.
I think your garland is going to look great!
I can't WAIT for tomorrow! I'll be throwing those windows wide open and feeling the chill!
We had our first soup of the season last night ---- so fall has officially arrived.
You know what? I like making leaves, too. What is it that makes them so satisfying?
Good on The Tim for having a decorating eye. And I like the pillow! Enjoy it while it's yours.
I'm glad it is cooling off there and I love your little leaf and acorn (and the kitty pillow).
It’s too hot for fall here too. I can’t believe the AC is still on in October. Your leaf and acorn duo are precious. I love little knitted things as long as someone else has made them. I don’t have the patience.
fall makes me happy too even though it's too hot.
I have a somewhat similar kitty pillow - Burton claimed it!
