the blue blog archives: ode to september knits

Alas, with every seasons' change, the stash must be rearranged.
Summer cottons must away, while winter wools come out to play.
But wait, what's this? What do I find,
but two little knitting projects left behind.
This one has ladybugs all in a row,
and here's another giraffe jacket waiting to go.
Quick, make haste, don't delay!
Finish these sweaters right away.
'Cause fall won't wait
And these little guys are looking for their mates.

And now as sweater weather is drawing near,
I pause/pose in my tanks and what more do I hear?
Three-quarter length sleeves beckon to me
and it seems that a ribby has been reckoned (tee hee).
That makes four projects for semptember, you see.
And don't forget these two pipqueaks, silly!

* - It's a secret! I simply cannot tell. If I even think about it, I'll have to start it right away.

What a fun entry, and what summer! Went quickly for me, thanks to all those fabby knits you churned out. Now I can't wait for the cold-weather season to start. Sure, it means sleeves on sweaters [one thing I loved about the tanks...no sleeves!] but the more yarn the merrier, I say.

Hey, I was just going to get around to starting a ChicKami! I missed the boat on summer knitting this year. I'm glad I had all your projects and knit-alongs to keep me entertained.

Alison, you Rhymin' Fool! :-) Wow, you have had one *prolific* summer! I am still workin' with cotton, trying to prolong the feeling, even though it was 3C here this a.m.! Winter comes too soon in the Canadian Rockies...

Oh Alison - dry yer eyes. Tanks are not like white shoes and Labor Day ...

They are forever! I wear mine all the time under Sweaters and Jackets. My favorite Muse Edie, usually only makes Tanks for the Office...

PUT those tanks back on the runway where they belong!

And a special thanks for being the fabulous MUSE behind all the KnitAlong Goodness!
