The weather here in Düsseldorf has been pretty amazing, considering the time of year! We’ve had more than our fair share of beautiful, sunny, blue-skied days. Although I’d love for this weather to carry on until the day it starts snowing, I really don’t think that’s going to happen. I'm guessing we have some rainy, yucky days to come before winter sets in. So, we’ve been trying to make the VERY most of it while it lasts, by going out for lots of countryside walks. Last weekend, we went for a walk across the fields by our house. Just as we were setting off, I decided to take the camera along. And I’m SO glad I did!!! The colours were amazing, as the leaves have really started to turn now, and there was a stunning sunset too!!!
So, I thought I share a bit more autumn beauty with you.....
..... Oh, and look what I wore – my very first completed knitting project!
Can you see the slightly unsightly stitching up the back? Well, does anyone have any good tips (or links to good tutorials) on how to (neatly) sew up your knitting? And what do you think of the hairdo (left over from the Halloween party the night before)??? ;-)
I hope you’re enjoying a beautiful Autumn wherever you are in the world.....

I was so excited to find your lovely comment on my blog, thank you, Carly. Yes, we are nearly neighbors! What a cute cap you've knitted - I can only manage a scarf! Looks great in your autumn fields....xo Karen
ReplyDeleteYour hair is AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely hat; the colours are so vibrant, aren't they? Pop over to Youtube and type 'sewing seams on knitting'. There are two short and very clear videos from Dropsdesign which will help you enormously, I think. Let me know, ok?
Your photographs showing Autumn are lovely and so is your hat. I really like the colours you chose!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments, Ladies! I'm glad you all said nice things about my hat - you've given me the confidence to try some more! ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Youtube tip - I'll definitely have a look.....

Oooo I love the hat! Your knitting is great, I've tried a couple of times and just end up with a really tight knot of wool...think I'll stick to fabric :)
ReplyDelete:) Thank you for being nice about my hat!!! You should give knitting another go - if I can do it, anyone can (although I do know I have a long way to go).....

The hat looks great, Carly!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about enjoying the look of the knitting on the matching needles. I always feel the same way when I use beautiful needles, such as my rosewood ones - it makes the knitting look gorgeous long before it is finished.
