sweater weather

You know, other people are like "Oh, autumn, time for ghosts and blah blah spooky and orange and red leaves and pumpkin spice", but for knitters it's the season for emotionally craving a whole bunch of sweaters and every day or so getting a brand new idea for a sweater you need.

My new cowl/turtleneck sweater with pockets is blocking and then I can weave in the ends and I'm a third of the way into a purple waistcoat with bobbles. In the past few weeks I've decided all these contradictory plans for my next sweater:

• a 2nd fair isle waistcoat with the pattern I bought last spring (Starnkeeker by Kate Davies)


• the pullover hoodie my sister made for her visit here (Traveler hoodie by Andrea Mowry) in peach like my favorite cotton hoodie


• the gray zipper jacket I've been meaning to make for years (Monte Rosa by Isabell Kraemer, with modifications)


• a pullover with Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt in that lovely cream and natural tweed, 2523


• I should finally make a sweater in Drops Air (but what?)
