My knitting basket is filling up. If you look closely, you'll see a little pile of things heading towards a very special destination. I can't wait to tell you more about it, but you will have to wait just a little bit longer.
The other thing I have on the go is a mushroom-coloured Aidez cardigan.
I'm knitting it in deeeeep stash yarn: Rowan Yorkshire Tweed Chunky. Perfectly flecky, perfectly fall. Speaking of fall knits, have you seen the new collection of patterns by Brooklyntweed? AMAZING!!!
I was a bit high after seeing this beautiful autumn post, and couldn't resist going on my own mushroom hunt.
I find mushrooms unbearably cute. Sadly, I didn't find any mushroom-garlanded pinecones like Margie did (I suspect she has a few wood nymph friends tipping her off on the best spots), but I did capture a few sweet fairy cups and such.
There are many magical sights to be seen in the forest. It's just a question of laying low and thinking small...

I love the cardi, the colour, and the cable design. Especially love the pic with the spiders web. So beautiful and so autumn.

Small treasures. Magical pictures. It's fun to go micro once in awhile. Were those taken in Gatineau Park?

Ohhh thats the perfect colour for Aidez! beautiful!
I WISH I could have my knitting out in a big basket like that but little hands and dog hair would devour it!

your hunt was super successful. It has been a long while since I explored the forest for mushrooms in your neck of the woods.
Thanks you so much

Your knitting is just gorgeous! and those mushrooms are really magical, specially those coral ones. Love! Very few shroomies here in the semi-desert. Thank you for the inspiration!

I'd love to knit Aidez, too. Yours is looking so lovely.
And, all those colors and textures you have found are incredible. Nature is so inspiring, isn't it?!
