Sweater Season!

With September arriving, I've noticed the weather is...changing. When the mornings start getting cooler and the nights come earlier, I start wanting to make sweaters. Lots of em!

I thought I'd share what I've got in my project queue for fall:

First up, I'm hopping on to this CAL. I'm a big fan of KT and the Squid's designs and have made a few of her cardigans: the Leudinghause and the Kram. Both turned out lovely but I have to say out of the two the Leudinghause is my favourite, I love the look and it was more fun to work up as well. This time around the CAL is of a pullover and I'm pretty pumped to give it a crack! I have a few skeins of Koigu yarn that Kaeleigh gifted to me that I think will make a beautiful trim for it, and I'll be on the lookout for a nice yarn for the body of this one at the local Fibre Fest coming up next weekend!

Next on deck is the Reminisce Sweater by the Velvet Acorn. Kaeleigh alerted me of this pattern, and while I've often admired her beautiful patterns, when I saw this one I purchased it IMMEDIATELY. I see myself making a few of these down the line. It's SO beautiful and looks mad comfy. I love that she designs her patterns in knit AND crochet. It's rare to see that!

And finally, I've REALLY been itching to work up the True North Knit Jacket by Yarnspirations. This one has been on my mind since we reviewed the Canada 150 Lookbook and last week I took the plunge and bought myself a Knitter's Pride interchangeable needle set in preparation for this! I think I'll hold out on this one for a little while cuz I don't feel very confident my knitting skills are at the right level to tackle this, but of course Kaeleigh is a great knitting resource for me. Hopefully with her help I can get through it! I couldn't help but spend a good portion of my daydreaming time yesterday thinking of what colours I'd like to make this one in.

So that's what's been on my mind as I start preparing for the long Canadian winter and all the extra time on the couch it brings! I'll be sure to share my progress with you as I go along.
