Today is the Day...

...Anne and Lori's Ennea Collective becomes a reality. This bi-monthly e-zine will feature knitting, spinning and weaving patterns. With two spinning wheels sitting idly for months, I'm in need of help to get my spin on. Make sure you check out the Ravlery group.
Cold weather is coming and, in fact, I’ve already worn mitts and leg warmers while on my morning walk. Gloves, full fingered gloves, will soon be a must and I’ve found just the thing. On the heels of Twist and Knit, Miriam has published a collection of gloves inspired by glamorous, stylish actresses of old Hollywood. Vivien Leigh, Lauren Bacall, Joan Crawford! I love each glove in turn and it's difficult to decide which to knit first from the Silver Screen Collection.

Mr. Sock Mojo has promised to stick around until Socktober is over, but he is packing his bags for a quick escape. He knows how fickle I can be when it comes to glove knitting.
Thank you for the link to the Ennea Collective. It looks promising.

I wore fingerless mitts this week - it was COLD in my office at the COA. I always want to knit more of them, too.

My daughter and I have been talking about gloves. I've not done any and it may be time to give them a go! Happy fall weekend!

I haven't quite had to break out the winter woolies, but I did wear my Brattleboro Hat a couple weeks ago on a blustery day when I had a cold. LOVE the new Ennea Collective!

I can definitely see you in those gloves - so elegant!
