Fall is in the air!

Well, you can tell by my scarce posts that I have busy with the kids this summer. Today was the start of the school year, and I think we're all excited to get back into the routine. Some of us more than others. ;) I can see bare branches at the top of the cottonwood trees behind my house, they are always the first to lose their leaves. And, my yard is littered with leaves, but my Sycamores constantly drop leaves and bark, so that's not exactly an indicator. I have one more summer top to finish, then it may be time to move on to summer knitting!

Finally finished the #10 Lace Dress from Knit Simple Magazine:

I ended up starting on #4's, then switching to #5's on the two middle charts, to #6's on the 4th chart, and to #7's on the stockinette. I also worked two sizes because I wanted it for a tunic and it flared out huge in my size. I made the smallest size up to the stockinette, then switched to the 38" bust by increasing every RS row until I had the recommended stitches.


I really like it, I'm just scared to wear it because it's a nightmare to block now that it's assembled! Ha.
