Harvest Yarn & the Sheep Herder

Varying views on fall. At my house it means way too many acorns to trip over (this year was incredible!), leaves that cover the world, and good reasons for soup and fires. Some areas it means the harvest. I've missed having a garden of any kind in recent years so I curled up with one of my favorite coffee table books for inspiration. Harvest yarn was inspired by a few of the harvest paintings by Vincent VanGogh. I love how he captured the essence of the harvest in colors that bring it to life but are not the typical ones associated. So I captured some of those colors in wool. I find it soothing even though it is a far cry from my usual palette. Vincent's Harvest 2ply Merino "imperfect" worsted weight (it's a texture thing) 208 yards 100 grams I keep seeing it in one of EZ's Baby Surprise Jackets, there have been so many adorable ones posted in handspun. Anybody got a little guy to knit for? So while I was "harvesting" apparently Remy was upstairs "herding". There he is with ALL of the sheep stuffies in one tiny herd. Such a good boy!
