cowl growl

I have been knocking out knitting projects all over lately. One of my latest is a cowl. Until this year I wasn't even familiar with what that was.. but now I've made one. And its super soft and comfy. I don't think I'll go back to wearing scarfs with the cowl around:)

fall colours


Since following NieNie. I've been inspired to go on a fall colours tour. We've taken our yearly trip to Mountain Apple Orchard, gone on nature walks in the woods and this year I decided to get out the crayons and do wax paper leaves with the leaf pattern that Vanessa Christenson uses in her Crayon & Wax paper leaf tutorial. Check it out here.
I haven't seen anyone do wax paper leaves since my mom did them with us as kids. It's been great to do them again and I'm already thinking of a few ideas for Christmas that use wax paper too.
