These are wonderful chrysants standing just outside my door. Slowly the leaves on the trees are turning radiant red, orange and yellow and it´s like natures own fireworks to take farewell of the summer that has passed and to welcome the coming winter.
Election Day is celebrated with a new pair of socks, made out of some old cotton-yarn that has been laying for a long time in the stash. The yarn is "Tilda" and Tilda Multi" from Svarta Fåret. I´m quite pleased with the result and maybe I´m starting to change my views about knitting with cotton. I have been avoiding cotton for a long time because the projects seldom turned out well. But suddenly I feel a strong urge to use more cotton and new ideas keep popping up.
These socks were knitted mostly in transit: on the bus and on the underground to and from work. I like to have someting small in my bag to knit on and socks are rather ideal. I always carry a book as well, and sometimes it´s hard to make up my mind about wether to knit or read. The last few days litterature won and I have read the excellent "Igelkottens elegans" by Muriel Barbery. It was really hard to put it down and once I was so absorbed by the book that I missed my stop and had to take the underground back three stations...
Now I need to cast on for something new and decide on a new book to read. Luckily, I have plenty of yarn in the stash and a book-parcel arrived in the mail from Adlibris yesterday.
