October’s Newsletter!
Happy October Everyone!
The leaves are turning, and the nights are getting chillier. My husband is the cook in our family and gleefully announced a few days ago that “It’s Soup Weather!!!” It is also, of course, sweater weather, and for me it’s Fall Cleaning Time!
I decided to de-clutter the entire living/dining room… the donation pile is still WAY too small, so I’m going to start tackling the keep pile with the “Does This Bring me Joy?” question in front of mind. So naturally, the house is a mess and we had a gorgeous day today, so we’re sitting outside and working on our computers, pretending the living room doesn’t look like a tornado came through.
I have to tell you I don’t feel like knitting very often these days, but this month’s Fan Club colorway is just BEGGING me to do something with it. So I may have to at least make a quick hat out of it. Interested in joining Fan Club? Visit www.roundmountainfibers.com/fan-club. Want this colorway but don’t want to join Fan Club? Cabled Fiber and Yarn has ordered this colorway on Birch Fingering! Want it on another base? Contact Cabled, or any of our LYSs, and ask them to order it for you! They have until the 15th to order this colorway.
