Fall Is Here.

i am thrilled that Fall has finally arrived. The leaves are splendid this year. Colors so bright it is like opening a jewel chest. With Fall the temperatures lower so that big yarn projects are fluffy and warm to work with.
I just finished a bright lemon yellow crochet shawl. I used the free pattern for the Seraphina shawl. Here is the link just in case.

She shows full pics of every step of this shawl. I used Red Heart Acrylic. I love this pattern.

I also am finishing up another afghan in brilliant bright colors. Each 'block' is worked from the outside edge inward. On the knitting front I am working on two white projects. A long rectangle shawl for my sister to give as a gift to her friend using the Melody Trinidad Pattern, and a square project using the Jeanie Wedding Shawl pattern for a dear friend, she is also giving it as a gift.

Working on a crochet filet pattern for a new shawl too. Using some gorgeous light brown wool from Astrid's Dutch Obsession site.
