I've never used a circular needle but I'd like to have a go at a shawl so I suppose I'll have to bite the bullet and give it a go. Daniel heads off to university next weekend, it's all go at the moment getting ready for the move, they need so much stuff to take with them.

Great sleeping weather. Windows open and breezes flow through the house. Right now the breeze is a little chilly so I may have to do some closing before nightfall. But this is my favorite time of the year. I love the way the air changes. It feels crisper and cleaner. Love your socks.

I actually enjoy getting back into Autumn clothes and wearing jumpers, thick tights and choosing which scarf from my collection to wear. I can now wear a velvety jacket my daughter bought me earlier in the year.
