It was a dark and stormy morning…

And yet, I still had a really hard time trying to catch it on film. So just imagine all of the flora in the picture moving around a lot, accompanied by the “rushing water” sound of wind.

I love this time of year. This morning, aside from being dark, wet, and windy, was also really warm. The air had a very pleasant smell, and I spent a lot of time outside, standing on my driveway, looking at the sky and acting like a dork.

Aside from being moody and ominous, this weather signals the beginning of sweater and hat season! I have conflicting feelings. On the one hand, I’m very excited to wear my hand knits again, on the other hand, my Vogue Cable Cardi is taunting me. How I wish it was done (and a little bit bigger) so I could wear it! I think the sleeves are fixed, but I need to frog the armholes on all three of the body pieces to add about 4 inches to the length. Curse my busty self! Those cute, little pockets need to fall lower on my torso, or they’ll look dumb. This is annoying because I liked the idea of a cropped cardigan, and if it weren’t for those pockets, it’d be fine! Dangit, dangit, dangit.

I didn’t touch Abby’s Harry Potter sweater yesterday. It was a rough day, but I’ll spare you the details. Quite frankly, although some of you were entertained by yesterday’s post, I still think it hinges on “too much information”. So, there’ll be no bathroom talk from me today.
