Autumn
We sure miss Autumn back in Indiana. It is pretty nice to sit outside in November, knitting in the mid-80s, but we sure don't get Fall colors like these in Arizona. These pictures are from the reflection pond in Eagle Creek Park, just minutes from our old house (sold!) in Indianapolis.
Our friend Angie felt sorry for us and sent us these Fall objects along with some Indiana leaves.
Kiki made this "indyautumn" shawl in memory of Falls past.
This was made from her own pattern with the first yarn she spun herself. The roving came in a spindle kit from Hello Yarn, a great place for hand spun yarns & supplies. Looking for other sources of handspun? Stephanie at Spritely Goods recently added handspun yarn to her shop.
Keeping with the Fall theme, Kiki also made this super-cute pumpkin socks & hat combo.
These are made from Cascade Fixation in Kiki's own pattern. They are gifts for brand-new baby Ezra, who was just born today! Welcome baby Ezra! Enjoy your first Midwest Autumn.

I cannot BELIEVE you have already spun and knit something so absolutely beautiful from that spindle kit, Kiki!! Please, please send me large photos so I can put them on the website. You're an inspiration to all new spinners, fancy lady.

Tell her to hurry up and publish that pattern! I absolutely love it!
The shawl if gorgeous! Congrats on spinning yarn up that quickly and knitting with it!
Glad to hear the house sold. Congratulations!!
I'm totally in love with the shawl and the cute baby set. Plus, y'all are makin' me jones for learnin' me some spinnin'. Aw jeez... like I need another hobby!
Miss you guys!
Oh yeah, and the autumn pics are breaking my heart. I miss NY in the autumn. :(
(But thanks for posting them... I needed a fix.)
Hooray for the sold house!
I miss fall as well. I have a bag design in mind that's all fall-y colors. Trees that change colors - is that too much to ask for...
Ohhh. I miss the fall. the leaf colors are simply stunning in that photo!
Kiki! The shawl is amazing, and the yarn you made is so beautiful!
Steve - thanks so much for pointing people at my site :)
I love those autumn pictures - what breathtaking colours!
And your first handspun yarn looks fabulous!! :)
