Where did the Summer go?

I can’t believe that it’s September.  I enjoy the fall, but dread the winter, especially if it snows a lot.  I think we may have lots of snow this year.  Oh Boy!

I finished the Flutterby baby blanket using Bella Chenille in the Pansy Purple color with a size 10.5 needle.  I really enjoyed knitting this and I love the yarn.  It’s so soft.

I like it so much that I bought more yarn to make a lapghan for me.  The color is Clover (color number 111).

I love Lollipop yarn, but it is getting harder to get.  I was lucky to snag some yarn in the Gripes base in the color Blue Skies and Rainbows.  It came with a mini me skein in blue skies for the heels and toes.  I will probably only use it for the heel, but maybe I will change my mind.

I also got Trick or Treat in the Beefcake base with a mini me skein in the color pumpkin patch.

It’s almost like a game to me to see if I can get this yarn.  But, I really love it.

I am still knitting on my sock using Must Stash yarn in her perfect sock base in the color Night at the Roxberry.  I am using a size 1 needle and will be putting in an afterthought heel.

I haven’t been knitting too much and have a lot of projects on the needles, so I need to get back to it.  Maybe the fall will be the incentive to knit.

I love the colors you pick for your projects. Where did you find the pattern for the Flutterby baby blanket? I would like to make a lap blanket for my Mom. Pennsylvania weathers' are cold.
