i love fall!

it's by far my favorite time of year. as much as i love the fresh fruit and veggies of the summer (and being able to swim and dig in the garden!), i love it when the trees all decide to change colors and it becomes sweater (and scarf) weather.

so here's what i've been up to:

this is the scarf i mentioned in the last post. it's the first rib i've done and i'm very happy with how it came out. the gradiation in the yarn is very pretty, too, and i'm thinking that it will match my winter coat quite nicely. i know it matches one of my favorite sweaters, so we're all set there, at least!

and this is how i decorated the front door of our house. it makes me happy (and please note the scary black cat...i made him last year and decided that he needed to be by the hitching post with his own little pumpkin this year):
and i just realized that it would have been a much prettier picture had i rolled up the blinds on the front door, but o well, you get the idea.
