It's a Fall Thing

I'm wearing Blue Sky Alpaca's Fitted Tank top. The wrap is Fleece Artist's Goldilocks' yarn. Neither of these knits is terribly compelling on it's own, but together I think they make a nice Fall outfit.

The change in seasons is very subtle in Southern California. But you know it's Fall when you go to the Mall and feel compelled to buy to corduroy pants, candles that smell like cider donuts, and it seems like a good idea to buy chocolates shaped like leaves wrapped in colored foils. Yep, it's Fall in So Cal.

Since we have been very busy lately Mr Puffy and I are going to relax in San Clemente this weekend. He has asked that we go for a long walk on the sand tomorrow and I've agreed. He loves to feel the wind on his face and the sand under his paws. So do I, for that matter.

This is a closeup of the Fleece Artist Goldilocks yarn (mixture of mohair/silk/nylon). It's light weight and warm and if I had to judge something by how often it gets worn ~ this wrap would rank high. I have another in blue that I wear constantly as it's very denim friendly.



The top is a very simple knit and and quite comfortable to wear. The only thing I would have done differently is the finishing around the neck. Even with steaming I find the front neck and back tends to curl a little. I should really treat myself to a knitting book on finishing techniques. Mr Puffy, please make a note of that.
Now, where did I put those chocolates....
