Memorandum Monday seasonal change

Waving to you all on a lovely autumnal feeling day and Labor Day greetings to my friends across the Atlantic.  With blackberries on the bushes, apples ripening and trees starting to change colour plus all the signs of a new University year about to start it really feels like a seasonal change is in process.

So as we ease into autumn I was pleased to discover at my crochet group on Saturday that I am not the only one who has started work on winter items (I'm not mentioning the C word here) !!  We all agreed that with plans to make several versions of an item for family or work colleagues and have them ready in time that work needed to start now.  Having broken the ice when I pulled out my hats to  work on we happily swapped ideas and images saved of possible and started projects.  One of our group happily told us we only have 16 more meetings before that C word.

I'm making these for winter wear so want them finished by the time it is cold enough to need a hat (the pattern is by the fabulous Sarah from Repeatcrafterme)


Anyone else started winter crafting?

Admiring your foresight in getting started now - your snowman hat is very cute ...

Cute! Trying not to think about the C word or the cold!

On to every season ... in the garden Mother Nature is really signalling a change to the season. In this part of Ontario, Victoria Day is the "official" start to summer & Labour Day the "official" end to summer. Your hats look comfy & warm & the snowman hat will be a hit with all the Frozen fans.

Oh yes, the season that shall not be named that starts with C, everywhere the stock & supplies are showing up in the stores, 16 seems so far off :)

Very cute! Yes, I have reached the yoke part of a jumper for our new student.Maybe she'll wear that, though she continues to ignore all my stories about our student house being so cold I wore a thermal vest all year round. Knitting Club here doesn't start back until the last week of September, so I'll be starting another project by then, I hope.

Wishing you a great week

Your hats look great. I saved the pattern you sent me and am still wondering whether it's manageable for me - I can think of a little person who would love it!

Oh! these are just lovely! This morning I have strung three Ginkgo leaves and beads in autumnal colours to hang on my twiggy tree for the autumn, does that count?
