It is my favorite time of the year, fall. As a both a knitter and spinner I selfishly feel that this is the beginning of a new year, perhaps the beginning of the new year for a knitter.

The leaves will start changing soon, pumpkin flavored everything will be upon us and it will finally be time to light candles at night, put a fire in the hearth, and wear the hand knits that we have been working on all year.

The mornings are starting to be a little cooler and the number of flowers in bloom is starting decrease.

The Plucky Knitters knitting retreat is taking place next week on Bainbridge Island and they will have a shop open to the general public open for yarn during the day on Friday 1-5 PM and 10AM-5PMSaturday.

It’s a fun place to shop, sit, knit, check out knitwear, and enjoy fall in the Pacific Northwest.
