I know, it's September! It is hard to get into the swing of things concerning fall with these high temps and humidity. Feels like summer here. I will start to pull a few things for color inside and maybe a tablescape soon. Your burlap wreath is lovely and the flag is to cute. You are very creative with your knitting needles. I'm afraid the needles would go every which way with me. Wish I could knit, I think I would enjoy it. Your group sounds like fun :)
i have never heard of "rabbit, rabbit"! i am going to have to google it...love your projects and you look ready for fall! it feels like fall here this morning, cloudy and windy and cool...i think we are getting some of this from that tropical storm on the coast. love the stitch and bitch, funny name and sounds like a great time! thank you for linking and have a wonderful weekend, hopefully it will be a bit cooler for you!
It seems odd to me, but this year the first day of September was definitely Fallish, cool with rain showers here in the Pacific Northwest. I am being stubborn and holding off on setting out Autumnal decorations until the first official day of Fall, but I enjoy seeing your decor and I want to read the Tasha Tudor book! I enjoy attending a weekly stitching group at church. We are working on making little blankets for preemies at a local NICU and have fun coming up with patterns that are not lacy but are interesting. I stick to simple stitches and admire your brave more complicated pattern. Hoping you will be cooler and more comfortable in the days ahead!
Fall is arrived in your nice decorations... and I want to hold the summertime. We have just more summer here than in all the other time of this season. Never have say "Rabbit, rabbit!", but I will learn, why... I like the blue stripes in your knitwork, such a bolero would wear too. Enjoy your weekend
Your fall decor is so lovely. I can't believe that autumn will soon be here. We've had a hot, hot summer down here in southern California. I'm excited to see your knitting when it's completed; love the color and design! Pat xx
Rabbit rabbit is a new one on me - I've heard of white rabbit so I think they must be connected. The change in the season is certainly upon us here in the UK. Love your knitting project, I have a Xmas sewing project I need to start.
Five lovely things. It is good to celebrate the seasons and there does feel a change in the air. Your crochet groups sounds wonderful, I bet you have some lovely times there:)
Crafting is always more fun with friends, isn't it? Looks as if you have a nice large group.
I have a friend from England who says, "Rabbit, Rabbit" on the last day of the month, and the morning of the 1st, he says, "Hare". Have you ever heard that saying?
Love the name "Stitch and Bitch" for your group! :-) That bolero is going to be lovely. Such a hopeful-for-fall post! It was a nice frosty-morning post!
I didn't say rabbit, rabbit... instead it was hip hip hooray!!! I love September and the change of season to my favourite. I love the autumnal touches you are doing and I am busy getting everything out now ready to welcome all the rustic browns and reds into the home. Have a lovely weekend xx
I am nowhere near ready for autumn yet, but it was lovely to see your autumnal preparations. Your pumpkin is especially lovely! Thank you for joining in, have a great weekend! xx
It's white rabbits in this house - and for one I remembered! You're well into autumn mode and I still haven't had my summer holiday. I hope the sunshine can hold out for another couple of weeks.
I'm hanging onto summer for as long as possible, but it's fun to see all the autumn things people show on their blogs. You've done well with the knitting in spite of the kitty distractions!
Hello, I am not ready to let go of summer yet. Your fall decorations are pretty. The group meeting sounds like a fun time for all. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
Like others who have commented I'm not ready to let go of summer just yet although the idea of your dump cake has me intrigued! Thanks for sharing your seasonal theme with us for Mosaic Monday this week, keep stitching!
I love the Autumn wreath of colorful leaves! And what a cute book. It seems like we are all ready for a change when Sept rolls around! Rabbit Rabbit! Is it too late for me? heehee! Hugs!
Now I'm working on the Ribbed Collar Bolero.
I have a stash of Lion Brand Homespun and this is an opportunity to use it up.
If I like the finished project, I'll make some more.
I've only "frogged" 4 or 5 times.
It is a simple ribbing, but trying to watch a baseball game
and having three kitties determined to sit on my lap and the knitting
makes dropping stitches very easy!
Knock on wood, but I seem to be moving right along now.
I finally got to my Stitch and Bitch group.
They are a crochet group that meets at a local restaurant twice a month.
Not much bitching, but a whole lot of stitching, laughing and eating going on.
They welcome knitters, too.

I've been getting things switched over for Autumn too. Love the name of your group.

Happy September. You've just reminded me that I need to change the wreath on my front door.
September 2, 2016 at 2:34 PM
Didn't know about the "rabbit" trick. Would have tried it!
September 2, 2016 at 7:24 PM
Love all your pretty projects and lovely photos :) Autumn is just around the corner, I can see signs of change already.

I also put up my fall wreath and pulled out some pumpkin decorations. I don't want to rush the summer's end but I am ready for fall!
September 5, 2016 at 10:43 PM
You have been busy embracing autumn. I really should get a wiggle in and do that too. Love the look of the kerchief shawls. X

A fall cake sounds delicious! I am ready to bake one! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
