Fall is Here!
While most of my fellow Vancouverites may not agree, I could not be more pleased that fall is finally here! I can’t take the heat and I am looking forward to a little rain. I could do without the snow but I’ll take one thing at a time. First thing is first, I love fall colours! The rich browns, golden yellows, oranges, and reds. The leaves are changing on Burnaby mountain and warm wools and alpacas in these lovely shades are making their way into my stash.
The oddest thing happened the other day at the shop. I was walking around doing some stocking (aka fondling the yarn) and found 3 pretty little chestnuts on the couch. Emily and I were immediately smitten with the smooth texture, odd shape, and beautiful colours. We set about selecting some yarn to match our find.The Blue Sky Alpaca fit the bill and has the added bonus of being soft and warm. Just what the season ordered.
I’m not sure what to do with these lovely colours, perhaps some fall mittens? Maybe a simple garter stitch scarf? Whatever it is, I want to drape myself in these fall colours.

I love fall too! My very favorite time of the year, by far. And best of all, I get to wear the gorgeous scarf you knit for me soon. I miss you. Call me soon.
