Fiberphile offered a beautiful sock yarn last March which they called 'Sakura'. Some of its proceeds went to Japan Earthquake Relief which further sweetened the deal, so I sent for a skein. The fiber is squishy and wonderful and although I dragged my feet finishing, I did enjoy this knit.
These will get tucked away for warmer weather as they are so lightweight. And truthfully, they are almost too soft to wear!
The giant pumpkin made it as far as the front porch. It weighs several hundred pounds!

Autumn seemed to skip into the valley this afternoon. I had to close all of the windows as the temperatures dropped swiftly. I spent time in my sewing room, pushing myself to finish the Halloween quilt before the end of the month.
It's not going well - elements were added and subtracted - I've hit a wall, but will persevere! It's always so curious to me how productive I become - how I manage to shift gears after I return to my day job. When I come home at night I find myself wanting to work on my projects, weariness aside. Time takes on a new meaning. During the summer I have no problem crashing and burning in the evening! I guess that this is what sets holiday apart from the normal work week. I posted on Fbook last week that I want to be a Stay-At-Home-Someone! Truly. But I am too young to retire.

Did I mention that I had company in the sewing room today?
