Do you see it? No? Take a closer look.
The leaves are starting to turn! I am so excited! I love fall. No, that's not really accurate. I LOVE fall! Love, LOVE, LOVE it! Autumn is my absolute favorite time of year. I like it even more than Christmas! In the fall, the nasty humidity goes away. The days are still plenty warm but the nights cool off. The green leaves turn into beautiful shades of yellow, orange & red. The local farms' fields are filled with pumpkins and every store you go into has at least one shelf of candy corn. Have I mentioned my love of candy corn? And, while it may be too early to start playing Christmas music (although I'll admit I want to,) it's not too early to start thinking about Christmas. I can make my Christmas knitting list (which I should have made six months ago but apparently I prefer total panicked pressure knitting.) I can even start fantasizing about how this will be the year the house gets decorated like something out of a Southern Living magazine and how all of the baking will turn out perfectly without a single smoke alarm going off. And as long as I'm fantasizing, let's say the candy corn is calorie free this year.
Ah, I love my fantasy life.
Sadly, I'm not living that fantasy life at the moment. Yes, this is a knitting blog without knitting photos. That's because my house is so messy & gross there's nowhere to photograph my knitting. There literally isn't a clean, junk-free space big enough to set Mr. Creepyhead so that I could take pictures of the two hats I finished this week. Janet, the mannequin, is wearing clothes I haven't gotten around to hanging so she's not available to show off the scarf I finished and the dining room table (where I always lay my blocking mats) is still too covered in junk to block my Allegro sweater.
That's going to change though. I am going to get this house cleaned up. Right after I knit another round or two on the cowl I started last night.
