Driving to the shop this morning, I saw the most disturbing sight. A tree whose leaves were already changing colors.
This is just wrong.
Wrong.
It is only August. I am not ready to let summer go. I want more mornings on the deck enjoying a cup of coffee while knitting a few rounds on a sock. I want to hit the beach again. I want it to stay light outside until past 7pm.
I realize that fall is inevitable. And I love fall, I really do. Just not quite yet.
I was so surprised/shocked/outraged at this sight of the approaching change of seasons that I quickly grabbed my camera (luckily, I was at a stop light) to capture the moment to share with you. Actually, I was quite pleased with myself that 1. I had the camera, 2. I remembered I had the camera, 3. My brain worked quickly enough to alert me to this blog-worthy moment before the light changed.
On to the knitting.
I got a wonderful visit from Ginny today. She has been having fun with the drop stitch scarf I designed out of Bonnie. Here she is with three finished scarves and more are on the way!
Thanks for bringing them in!
Linda was sporting her Rectangle Shawl (pattern from Blue Sky Alpacas) knit out of Spunky Eclectic Rustic Silk. Beautiful.

Lesley was able to join us for Knit at Night and let me capture the heel of her first sock.

Her first sock. It is a beautiful thing.
Anna finished her top from No Sheep For You in time to enjoy the end of summer. Isn’t it gorgeous???

We had a fabulous time.

And even though she is moving next week, Wendy made it to Knit at Night!

I am going to miss her so much, but the new job sounds like a great opportunity and she will be back to visit often. Right?
