fall

 it feels a little bit like fall around here..ok a tiny bit. at least when i'm inside i pretend it's all chilly and fally out and light candles and watch fall movies. today i watched the trouble with harry. it's a really pretty movie to watch, with all the colorful leaves. and shirley maclaine's cute pixie too.
i've also been decorating for the season. i made this crochet wreath i saw on good knits. it was really quick and simple, and i think it would be pretty in different colors for different seasons. i think i just might do that.

do you have any favorite fall or halloween movies to recommend? fall crafts?  i'd love to hear!

yarn and book summer

making sweaters is my new favorite. here is my second sweater. the pattern is from this magazine. it turned out a little big, so i think i would use a lighter yarn next time.

i just finished reading I Capture the Castle, which was also on my summer reading list. and i loved it very much.

and then i watched the movie last night while i ate some shortbread. that seemed english to me. i like pretty movies. and i like romola garai, who played cassandra. so there you go.
