It was a dark and stormy morning…

And yet, I still had a really hard time trying to catch it on film. So just imagine all of the flora in the picture moving around a lot, accompanied by the “rushing water” sound of wind.

I love this time of year. This morning, aside from being dark, wet, and windy, was also really warm. The air had a very pleasant smell, and I spent a lot of time outside, standing on my driveway, looking at the sky and acting like a dork.

Aside from being moody and ominous, this weather signals the beginning of sweater and hat season! I have conflicting feelings. On the one hand, I’m very excited to wear my hand knits again, on the other hand, my Vogue Cable Cardi is taunting me. How I wish it was done (and a little bit bigger) so I could wear it! I think the sleeves are fixed, but I need to frog the armholes on all three of the body pieces to add about 4 inches to the length. Curse my busty self! Those cute, little pockets need to fall lower on my torso, or they’ll look dumb. This is annoying because I liked the idea of a cropped cardigan, and if it weren’t for those pockets, it’d be fine! Dangit, dangit, dangit.

I didn’t touch Abby’s Harry Potter sweater yesterday. It was a rough day, but I’ll spare you the details. Quite frankly, although some of you were entertained by yesterday’s post, I still think it hinges on “too much information”. So, there’ll be no bathroom talk from me today.

    Yes, well, that’s because it’s gorgeous! And it looked more fab on you with your cute little cargo/hipster pants than it ever will on me!

    Hi Laura,
    I so feel with you. It’s so tough when every strange smell makes you throw up. I’ve been there myself for 4 times 6 weeks 🙁
    If you look for a crocheted bib, I’ve got a picture of one I made for my 5 months old babygirl on my blogspot.
    Enjoy the fall!
    Greetings from Denmark.

    How ironic. It looks like a rather clear and pretty day. I find that my digital camera sort of inverts the weather somehow.

    Sounds like a great day, weather-wise. I love the fall, but am sad for the loss of summer. You’re right though, now we can wear all of our cool sweaters we’ve made. Love the cable cardi!
