fall

Fall really is my favourite season. As part of the Autumn Yarn Swap, we're supposed to post on our blogs about our favourite thing about this season.

I think in general I love the feeling of it. I love the crispness in the air and the emergence of scarves and mitts and sweaters and jackets and wool socks and boots (I'm a fair-skinned individual and as much as I love summer, my legs never really got along so well with shorts...)I love the comfortable feeling of settling back into a schedule, the excitement and novelty of beginning new things - going back to school, back to dance classes, the new clothes, new school supplies. So much excitement and anticipation which is always somehow amplified by the refreshing cool air. I love the changing of the leaves and the nostalgic feeling that it brings. I love feeling cozy and snuggly with tea and a good book or a soft, warm knitting project...

October is my all time favourite month. I was born in October and I share my birthday with my grandma so it's always been a special time for me to spend with my family. Also, my husband and I first started dating in October almost 8 years ago, just before I turned 17. So it's a cozy time to reminisce about the slightly awkward teenage romance that developed and grew into the most important and beautiful relationship of our lives.


And that's more or less what I love about fall..
