Earl on Hand

I am always a little bit sad to see summer go. Our dry New Mexican summers are simply the best and I need a while to adjust to the cooler wheather.

Wool is my comfort.

Fall and winter just beg for knitting and working with wool in front of a crackling fire and I so enjoy pulling the woolen sweaters from the depths of the closet like old friends, that you have not met in a long time.

This year there is the added pleasure of Earl and Princess. Remember?

The transformation from this...

...to this....

....never ceases to amaze me!

Just this week I needed my fingerless mitts for the first time this fall and that made up for the chill!

I can't say this often enough:

Thank you, Earl!
