sweater weather

It is with some small amount of dismay that I see the weather forecast includes both the words "chilly" and "frost" and a minus 1.




On the upside, I will get to finally wear my favourite autumn sweater. It has been patiently waiting.

  1. I am still so far in denial that I haven't even pulled out my winter clothes. I really need to pull them out this weekend.

  2. It looks like it was handmade, Did you do that or a friendly grandmother?

  4. The colors match your header photo, and that is so pleasing.

  5. Jazz: yes you will, there may be no more going back to summer.

    Irene: this came from The Sweater Shop in Scotland which sadly went out of business by the time I arranged to get another sweater the same but in more spring colours.

    MA: thanks. I cannot wear this in the spring, it feels wrong.

    Ruth: thanks for noticing that - I hadn't at first!

  6. It's a lovely sweater. Maybe the secret to enjoying winter is to have a lot of kick-ass winter clothes that you can't wait to get into??

  7. That's something I love about Autumn: it's a comfortable season (time to wear comfy clothes, eat earthy food, etc.) I never miss Summer when it's over as I think we have to appreciate seasonal changes. Nice sweather anyway.

  8. XUP and Guillaume: That is it exactly - have lovely warm wooly (or fleecy) things to crawl into and suddenly fall and winter are so worthwhile.

    btw, thanks for stopping by Guillaume - I look forward to seeing your carved jack-o-lantern!

  9. I haven't even pulled out my sweaters yet (dragging my feet on it because I don't want to admit it's time) but I am wearing long sleeves now.

  10. Citizen: I always look forward to this weather - until it gets here, then I think: oh no it's too soon.

  11. Lovely sweater. I like fall/winter myself more so than the humid days of summer (they suck the life right out of me). I think it's nice to have a lovely and cozy sweater to snuggle into. Of course, when we're in March, I can't wait till I take them off and can walk around in sandals... lol
