It's almost October. It must be time to knit.

There's something about fall weather that makes me want to pick up the needles. I can go all summer and most of spring without caring a bit about yarn or anything crafty, really, but come fall, I'm ready.

I went to my Very Best Favorite Yarn Store, Ever today at lunch and picked up a few skeins of Lorna's Laces. I aim to make myself a Clapotis. Among other things, of course.

I'm also in the process of (not) making blackout shades for our bedroom. I've completed and hung 4 of them, but I'm having trouble finding motivation for the remaining 3. Once those are done, I need to tackle the window covering situation in the living room. And finish the quilt for our bed. And make shades to replace the blinds I removed from the Craft Room.

And finish organizing the Craft Room. It's slightly tidier than usual, but not much. (I can walk from one end of the room to the other if I stick to the cleared pathway.)

And then there's my Christmas list. Lots of plans, little action.

So, of course, I'm starting fifteen new projects. Hee!

On the needles:

- simple seed-stitch scarf with pockets for friend
- x-stitch for MIL

Enqueue:

- Clapotis in the Lorna's I picked up, today
- Vegan Fox in silver
- Ruffles from Scarf Style. I've got a fleecy pink cotton for this one
- Lady Eleanor (also from Scarf Style). No idea on the yarn, yet. I'm still mulling it over.
- Fiber Trends' Peace Shawl
The long-suffering Noro Painter's Palette Merino will finally stop mouldering in my stash
- x-stitch Welcome sign for entry
- bedroom blinds

These, of course, are only the immediate projects. There's no wardrobe sewing or other longer-term projects on the immediate list.

The cool thing about the Enqueue list is that it's all for meeeee! (I never make stuff for me, so this is a big deal.)

I still need to get a picture of the scarf I made for my SIL.
