Are you the type that likes to go to participate in all the fall festivities like apple picking, pumpkins, decorating for the fall, hay rides, baking fall goodies, etc. or do you just sit and count the days till Thanksgiving/Christmas/Hanukkah?
I dare say that I really don't fit into either category. I love Fall, I can say that much. When I was a kid I loved to rake leaves into a pile and then jump in. I love the smell of leaves. I really don't decorate for the fall or bake fall goodies so I can't say that I am in that category. However, I don't sit and count the days til holidays but I love it when the holidays arrive also. I guees I just don't fit into either group perfectly. However, a cool fall day is the perfect time of year for an afternoon nap. Okay, bad answer to the question but that is how it goes some time.
Happy Knitting

Fall Into Autumn TOW #5
The topic of the week asks about the needle part of our stash.
Well I don't have pictures, but I can make a list of them for you all to see.
I have KnitPick Options series sizes 4-11 with 4 different cables and a case
that holds them all in pockets.
I have a home made needle holder courtesy of Ally B that she made for me.
It is awesome to have such a crafty mom. In the holder I have:
Size 7 bamboo straights. Size 8 bamboo straights (special hand painted ends)
Bamboo DPNs: set of five in size 7 , 10.5, 15 and set of 2 of size 11
Bamboo Circs: size 13 and size 15
Addi Turbo Metal 24" : size 10.5, & 15
Set of purple and green plastic stitch markers
Set of handmade beaded stitch markers
2 darning needles
I think that rounds out my stash. It is so hard to believe that I have such a collection and I have only been knitting just over a year. I love knitting and I love my needle stash. Thanks for asking me about it.
How about you? Do you have an assortment like me or do you just use one type of needle and why do you prefer that type of needle. Perhaps I will hear from you soon if there is anyone out there that is.

Fall into Autumn TOW#4
How about you? Are there any recipes you especially enjoy having in the Fall? Any foods that are seasonal that you especially enjoy? As Fall arrives, I tend to turn more to slow foods. I don't mind having the stove or oven on when it finally cools off so I enjoy making more things that can roast or bake in the oven. I don't have a favorite meal specifically but I do enjoy making a homemade lasagna recipe that I got out of the Everyday Food magazine by Martha Stewart. It is fairly easy, and you get a warm homemade lasagna with sausage and homemade tomato sauce. If you want more details on the recipe just let me know. I hope you are all well and knitting like crazy :)
