Hello loves!
My very favorite month has come to an end. :( But all is not lost as we are quickly approaching the most beautiful seasons. With them comes cooler weather and hopefully castonitis for all. While I know that not everyone is experiencing cooler temp, sorry parts of Canada, here in Arizona we understand.
You may be thinking that I am knitting two pairs of socks both pink with speckles and you would be right. At first I thought, should I? Then two seconds later I thought, why not? It is my knitting party and I will cast on all the pink socks if I want to. ;)
There is an occasional break from the pink when I am working on my Autumnal Cardigan. The joy I am having knitting up this love is endless and while it is not perfect (you may notice a grey stitch amongst the white), I choose to think of it as a wonderful freckle.
After reading through the comments from the last post, it would seem that many of you are joining me in my desire to knit all the things as we delve into Fall. Love that.
How about if we go visiting some fun places around blogland for our September loves?
- I am on of the last people on Earth not on Instagram but can still feel the frustration Kate felt when she was no able to access her account. She posted an interesting questions...are you a social media addict?
- Enjoyed reading Julie's take on her kit for WAK's Gesture Sweater kit. Then again I just love Julie in general.
- Paula is joining in on a fun KAL with some friend and they are knitting my favorite thing...socks. So fun to see all of their progress for Once Upon a Sock.
- What could be more fun than drooling over beautiful knits...I don't know maybe babies at Arrow Acres Farm?
- I can honestly say that my eyes fell in love with Michelle's Journey Sweater. The color, the cables, the beautiful knitting...I could go on and on.
- Sometimes the simplest of stitches can create the most lovely knits. Case and point Jenny's Fall Baby Blanket. Perfect gift idea for all the Fall babies being born.
- What would my list of loves be without adding Tahnee (who I have nicknamed My Muse)? Check out her Autumn WIPs.
- Be still my heart as Alina talks about The Vintage Collection. I want to knit every single sweater.
- I can honestly say I feel about of guilt about the joy I feel when someone shares a visit to their local yarn shops and I have some nearby that I don't go to ( I blame easy shopping online). I need to rectify that especially after seeing Katherine's visit to her LYS.
- Always a joy to catch up with Tien. Especially as the catch up includes lovely projects and beautiful yarn!
- It is totally possible for me to get lost when visiting Yellowish's blog. Before I know it an hour has passed as I devour every word and take in all the photos.
Hope you enjoyed the links. I am leaving you with a song and wish you the very best day today!
XO,
Andi
Happy fall! Three cheers for pink socks!!! And pink everything. It’s turning fall here too and it feels good. For some reason, I feel like Ian”survived” summer this year.

Lovely post Andi! Haha the freckle on your sweater gives it character :) I always love your monthly faves - that last blog has incredible photography!!! I'm not sure if you saw my email but I finally got around to knitting a skein of yarn from one of your "featured" indie dyers and I wanted you to know how much I appreciate all the dyers and variety of bloggers you share! Happy fall knitting.

Oh I love your cardigan and obth pairs of socks -- can you ever have too many pairs of pink socks? I think not! And so glad you enjoyed my visit to Northern Yarn -- it's such a special shop!!

Those pink socks are gorgeous, I can totally see why you had to cast on both at once! I am loving Autumn thus far, although it hasn't induced castonitis yet - I can't stop knitting on my shawl, as I just want to get it off the needles and bundle up in it! Have a lovely knitty week.

You always share such wonderful blogs Andi - I just found 3 more to follow.
Baby animals, speckled yarn and oh so many beautiful fall knits. Almost makes me feel ashamed for having nothing to post about!

Love your pink socks :)

I am so excited for fall! I recently looked at my huge pile of WIPs and debated trying to whittle them down...then laughed and decided to cast on something else!

Your pink socks are very different - one has the grey toe pocket, and will no doubt have a grey heel as well! I love your cardigan in progress, as well. Thanks so much for the shout out, and the link to Michelle's Journey sweater- Journey is on my to-knit list this winter, and it looks amazing!

gorgeous knitting and yay to favorites where I travel the web through your eyes.

You've made some excellent progress on that cardigan! I'm happy to hear you're enjoying the knit so much. Sometimes those big pieces can get tedious. I am even more happy that your love of pink has not slowed at all. Two pink things on the needles! Squeal! I will never get tired of remembering that you and your lovely blog ignited my love of pink.

Life is too short not to knit socks in your favorite color. Plus, I'm sure you'll enjoy the knitting so much that the socks will be off the needles and onto your feet in no time.

Thank you so much for including me in this list - always feels so great to be among your favorite reads of the month!

Your pink socks are so cheerful and fun. I say give us all the pink! Thank you for your sweet mention :) I consider Tahnee my muse too, especially when it comes to her yarn choices. My stash would be nothing without her influence.
