Evenin’ all.
*Nods at absolutely everyone. Then tries to stop head wobbling after protracted period of nodding.*
It’s been a mostly good day, here. There were early morning views of our local-ish 4th century BC hill fort. (Previous blog post here, from my very early days of blogging.) Hmm, can you just about see its stepped sides in this picture? It’s rather magnificent, and a pretty fine spot from which to defend the locality.
And there’s the new knitting project. My first proper grown-up pattern, to be published soon. For now, much secret-squirrel prototype-related activity is on the needles, especially at times when any sane and sensible person would be catching up on sleep. But it’s a secret, so you really must read this post in a whisper, OK? *Taps side of nose enigmatically* The finished product will look rather different, but look at these delicious colours!
More soon. But don’t tell anyone, OK?

The Twisted Yarn says
Nor can I: it’s a little unpredictable how it will turn out!
Tajana says
I absolutely love the colour of the yarn you’re using <3
The Twisted Yarn says
Thank you. I do love a pool of nice rich reds. π
Cnawan Fahey says
Beautiful!
The Twisted Yarn says
It’s a stunning landscape in any season.
Cnawan Fahey says
Ha! I was referring to the knitting! I guess my staying on subject threw you off!
The Twisted Yarn says
Yup, completely discombobulated me. My knitting thanks you, as do I.

*whispers, I really like this one. I especially like the hint about whispering. My boyfriend just showed up with a pumpkin-spice mocha, saying “I read your blog.” I fell in love with him all over again, and had to tell my friends to whisper it as they pass it on, so as not to ruin his reputation;-).
The Twisted Yarn says
Ha ha, this wins the prize for ‘best comment of the year’! π Thank you making me smile. You, your boyfriend, and your pumpkin-spice mocha sound very cool. π
dragontearsoflove says
Love the pattern, too!

Loved seeing the rolling green English countryside – haven’t seen it since I left in 92 – which is an aeon ago!! I used to drive along the Downs in Kent regularly π
The colours are gorgeous – very autumnal!
The Twisted Yarn says
You lived down there? Oh wow – such a beautiful part of the UK, and right by stunning coastline. We’re you there long-term?
thecontentedcrafter says
Just over two years – teaching in a Steiner school there.

I love that secret knitting,especially that cheeky line of blue!
The Twisted Yarn says
Thank you. Yes, the blue just sneaked in there.
atelieroursonne says
Beautiful colours. And I am sure it will be a lovely finished product.
The Twisted Yarn says
Thank you! It might be lovely… or it might be a complete disaster…

I love your seasonally-appropriate yarn colours and looking forward to seeing the finished project! I just wrote a post about the onset of autumn making me want to start new knitting projects, I think this is a knitter’s disease. Down here in Devon Autumn seems to arrive a little later than in the rest of the UK, but I am already feeling the urge to start knitting some cosy socks/gloves/jumpers/anything I can knit before next summer arrives…
The Twisted Yarn says
Yes I think it’s an understandable urge to reach for warmer, richer-colour yarns at this time of year. Don’t fight it!
Many Bright Things says
I have already given in to the urge and started on a shawl/scarf, and am thinking of a thick pair of socks after that, and then a jumper… so much knitting to do, so little time!
eclectichomelife.blogspot.com says
These are my sort of colours. They scream happiness, warmth and something just a little but naughty and spicy. Loving it x
The Twisted Yarn says
Agreed, re the colours. π
Linda Arthur Tejera says
Both pictures are just beautiful! Can’t wait to see what you’re making! π
hoppinglark says
Those colors are scrumptious!
sewchet says
This is going to be gorgeous; how could it not be in such vibrant hues? Intrigued about the pattern….:)
mindfulmagpie says
Beautiful jewel colors!
A Crafters Journey says
Beautiful and true colors of fall! Love your knitting!
