Autumn is here

I had planned a whole heap of outdoors activities for this weekend including a bike ride, but the weather turned grey and rainy and pretty much canned those ideas. Instead went for a little drive around the Willunga & McLaren Vale region and enjoyed the beautiful autumn scenery - all the leaves on the grape vines are turning golden yellow and red colours.

On the knitting front I finished another pair of booties (yellow ones knitted in a cotton blend rather than wool), and am about half way through knitting my first project knitted 'in the round' on circular needles. The pattern is 'little sister's dress' by Tora Froseth (http:/knittingalot.blogspot.com). It's very cute, but although I have learnt a lot by doing this pattern there are quite a few little bits I stuffed so this might have to be a trial run - I'll see how it turns out in the end though! I'm sure the next time I try this pattern it will be a lot easier :-)
