Autumn has slid in quite fast, but I like it. I must do the interseason edit of the wardrobe soon, it is too full and I know there are a few pretties but not keepers in there that should be pulled out. I am in a lazy spell though, too easy to procrastinate.
I started a sample knitted piece last night, but I suspect it is too hard. It is a knit stitch grid pattern in Noro with that fine Rowan mosaic infill squares, very beautiful but I can see all those yarns constantly tangling and driving me nuts. I might grab one of the old Fassett books out of the library and adapt one of his squares designs to give me a similar effect without the fiddly bits making a constant mess of the work.
Tatty was most intrigued with the basket of yarns I pulled out of storage last night, one ball in particular took her fancy and she was nonplussed by my telling her a firm 'no' to her adopting it. I had to cover the basket to remove temptation, otherwise I would have had cat lick all over that fat white mohair type ball. Frustrated mothering instincts I suspect, I shall have to find one that I can sacrifice for her purrfulness.
