August Charm

"The Gathering Clouds Bespread The Sky,
And Gentel Showers Descend;
The Ripening Fruits We Just Descry,
As Summer Is At End"

The Farmer's Almanac, says it perfectly.
Shadows are darker and longer. The sun sets earlier,
The air is cooler, warning us of what's to come.

The garden is giving her last blast. And all is Green.

Simple pumpkin.

Winter came on fast and furious last fall. The harvest display around the front stairs, were soon covered in frost and snow. They reseeded and here we are. Re Gifted!

Simple mitten.

Patons Fairytale DK #488, 1987

This is David's Sweater. Called Varsity Bound. It's published in Patons Fairytale DK, #488, 1987. I was a bit befuddled because yarn is now measured by the yard and not the weight like it was done back in the 80's (and all the years before, that). The very helpful shop owner at The Sheep Street Yarn Shop, Canton, Ma http://www.sheepstreetyarnshop.com/

Researched and found it would take 6 balls of RY Cashsoft DK It's good to know that Patons DK yarn (50 g) balls was 178 yards. in the 80's. It really does help knowing this for pattern conversions.
