I think it is Autumn. This is last of the blue hydrangeas, the rest have all rusted into tired purples.

Summer has seemed pretty darn endless thus far, and what with all the walking up steep hills and complete absence of air-con that Wellington affords, I am starting to tire of it. I am sure my chilblain stricken August self will look back at this and exclaim at my spoiled ignorance, but I do kinda like bad weather, and Autumn means the beginning of the Knitting Season! Ooh, my little Firefox weather add-on just changed it’s forecast to drizzle! I love a good drizzle.

So anyhoo, the turn in weather has inspired me to cast on for an easy peasy stormy weathery Noro Silk Garden striped scarf. I needed something nice and easy to knit to keep me from screaming while reading Victorian pirate novels on ProjGut. Fun at first, but so frickin repetitive. The pirates, not the scarf, which is pleasantly repetitive.

It is nail biting watching the colours change, I only have two skeins, which is okay, cause I want it skinny, but they are both the same colour so I was a bit worried it wouldn’t be that stripey, never to fear though.

It’s been a while since I posted a pic of Rio, so here is another of him aroused from his slumber by a fly.
