Terra Cotta Weather

Terra Cotta Weather

Halloween: 

I don't do pumpkins, 

scarecrows, dried corn.

So, of course, I made the leap

to cotton yarn in Terra cotta--

a lovely orange hue--

to commemorate the occasion.

My pattern choice...

a girlie summer top

with straps.

Now! Now!

Don't get excited.

I haven't lost my cool.

I know my seasons.

Ms. Frances doesn't like

sleeves or heavy weight vests,

and she likes her accessories 

to be feminine.

Thus, Sassy Pat

is knitting what you

might call a sundress vest

in an autumn color to be worn

over tees with one's best jeans.

Trendsetters we will be,

if you will , or maybe

just plain eccentric.

I'm off to mull cider

and knit in the round

and dream of Halloween

candy.

I didn't say...

I don't do Halloween cand
