My favorite season is autumn, I love enjoying it from the comforts of my home with my dog by my side and my knitting.

With the cold crisp and sometimes sunny weather, I have become more than enthusiastic about starting new knitting projects and finishing old ones.

So many colors and yarns are to be found this season, so I have treated myself to new yarns from Wool and the Gang, Cascade and We Are Knitters.

Use Fall Colours As Inspiration

I just love the creative vibes I get from this season, the colors of the changing leaves, the countryside walks, snuggling in a blanket to knit, and of course reading design magazines.

The fall colors I am in love with right now, range from greens, blues, and teal to browns, creams, and burnt orange.

The autumnal color palettes are best found in nature, with thick chunky yarns used to make hats and scarves for the colder months.
