Knitting Animation



Is this video adorable or what?
I wonder what was at the bottom of that cliff, don't you?

Autumn is my favorite season. Summer has ended, temperatures are cooler, skies are more dramatic and the countryside explodes with color unmatched by any other season. As much as I love summer, I long for the brisk temperatures of autumn. Now is the time to pull out the hand knit sweaters, socks, scarves and hats. I notice among my knit garments, a definite trend to autumn colors. Without intending to, I must be thinking of autumn when I decide to knit a garment. I have socks in browns and golds and rust colors, sweaters in dark reds with a hint of orange and green.

In two weeks I will more time for knitting. My evening job as an outpatient therapist is coming to an end. The agency's financial difficulties is causing them to drastically reduce their counseling staff to bare bones minimum. It is a sad situation, but it will afford me more time to knit. Those many pairs of Christmas socks will become a reality! What fun I will have knitting them. Can't wait! As it is now, I can only grab a half hour here and there. This is not at all what I want. I want a perpetually filled hot cup of tea, a woodsy scented tart melting over a candle nearby, and lots of beautiful yarn laying all around me as I knit it up into fabulous garments.

These are my knitting dreams for today. Thanks for stopping by. See you on your blog!

Thanks for the comment, Gnat. As a knitter, isn't it a hoot? Glad you added me to your blog reader and thanks for stopping by!

I loved this animation when I first saw it. Cute.. but explains why my non-knitting to do list is so long.
