The learning to love autumn is I think part of becoming a bit better at living in the moment. When i was younger autumn was so much a prelude to winter in my mind that the coming winter overshadowed it and got in the way of feeling its pleasures. I can't say I always manage it but I manage more often to relish a glorious september or October day without feeling the chill of November over my shoulder!Elizabeth Musgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473705107636868753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-11609857339510621862013-09-21T22:58:33.994+01:002013-09-21T22:58:33.994+01:00wool is too hot and itchy to wear, but I loved kni...wool is too hot and itchy to wear, but I loved knitting with variations on cotton and mixed natural fibres.

But there is also a tendency to play down the need to be skilful when it comes to knitting. I guess that, as with so much else, folk want a quick fix, and taking time to learn to do things like provisional cast-ons, grafting, and complicated cables will never be part of that. Which is a great pity because even with the knitting revival skills are being slowly lost.<br /><br />That textured blanket is gorgeous ... lucky grandbaby to be :)<br /><br />Annie Cholewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608057589525908147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-48103336094927171682013-09-20T05:39:31.189+01:002013-09-20T05:39:31.189+01:00Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.

They were huge undertakings and I would say they were both art & craft. A pair of swans gliding across a lake and not a single thread at the back out of place! I think she spent more time casting on & off than actually knitting sometimes!<br /><br />All your projects make me feel bad. I am not a crafty person. I have tried a couple of times, but it is just not me.
