:::there's something undescribeable about the chilly fall air that always makes me want to cast on for some knitting. something calming about those needles, working some fibres back and forth, loop-de-loop, back and forth...the steady melody of those needles that, all the while, are magically transforming the yarn into something to keep a loved one warm. how lovely is that?
:::this season, knitting will be even lovelier because my wonderful mom brought me a bunch of her vintage (as in kept forever!) yarns and needles and crochet hooks (she knows i'm looking for ways to satisfy my nesting urges these days)
:::i loove love these wooden needles that she made (so many years ago now) by sharpening the ends of chopsticks. i actually remember watching her do this! the chopstick needles are super chubby so they knit things up fast, and they're also non-slip, which is a huge bonus for clumsy knitters like me who tend to accidentally drop stitches when using slippery metal needles
:::any guesses as to what this might be? 5 points for your house if you get it right
:::halloween is a comin', so i need to get these babies knit up fast! i have to do 2, one for each "boy who lived". will post finished product along with other costume tidbits closer to hallow's eve, or whenever i get them finished
