No, It's Really It's November

 I'm not complaining, but it has been so nice (read that as not cold) on the front porch, and this morning and  for a bit tonight, I actually could sit out for a bit, in between rain bouts.

Here are my views from the porch this morning.

The trees down the street are still gorgeous, reds and oranges.


My little rose bushes are still flowering, although, a little puny looking, it is still fun to see them in November.


A sure sign of Fall, the burning bushes are going red, even though there is still quite a bit of green in there.


I have no idea what kind of tree this one is across the street from me, but every Fall it gets these red berry like things on them.  So fun to watch for them every year.


Last week, I took the cushions off of my rockers and the rug off for the year.  I need help putting the rockers away in the shed, so I have been able to still sit out and knit occasionally when it is not so windy or super chilly.

And tonight, well, I couldn't pass up almost 70 degrees to do a bit of knitting with a cuppa.


I'm Not Given Up.

Finally Finished Friday - Bermy Edition

 Bermy Basic 18 by Beth Macdonald Stone that is!  

It is going to be the perfect kick around home/throw on and go sweater for this Winter.


With extra long and wide sleeves to cuddle up in.

I knit it in Rowan Felted Tweed from deep PYS, opting for a rolled hem neck to accommodate any type of top underneath!


I feel like this is going to be one I come back to again and again in the coming months!
