All this thinking of fall reminded me of a fall project I started before Jude was born.

I started this sweater in my last trimester of pregnancy. It is a lovely pattern from Debbie bliss. I knew myself well enough to know that i would not have the sweater ready for baby right away so I planned to have it done by this fall and started making it 9m size.
I found my yarn at a great little yarn shop in Hemet Ca. There are not many great things in Hemet, but the Lazy Daisy on E. Florida is one of them. The shop does not have a website but if your in the area and like to knit (or crochet) you should check it out. The store is small but packed floor to ceiling with gorgeous yarns of all types. The owner is one of the most helpful ladies i have ever meet. When you walk in the store you will most likely see here sitting on a couch working on her own knitting project. The amount of math this lady can do in her head when it comes to figuring out patterns, yarn sizes and number of stitches is amazing. So in Dec. of last year I waddled out of this shop with nice green yarn and hopes of having much of the sweater done by the time baby arrived.
He is now 6m old and months away from being able to wear this sweater and this is how far I am
I made it over half way up the back piece. I have need to get serious about this to have it done in time as this is my first 'big' project and I'm not always great at following. I know what i will be doing during nap times for a while!
