Fall has always been my favorite season. Growing up in Illinois despite everything I loved about it, it also meant that a long cold winter was right around the corner. Now, after living 33 years in Florida, it finally brings an end to the miserable 90+ degrees and high steamy humidity of the last 5 months. Summer here is my own version of ‘cabin fever’ and I come alive at the first sign of cool mornings. My energy soars, it triggers the desire to run my hands through skeins of wool yarn and the first opportunity in months to bundle up in handknitted glory.

That’s a hard one. It is my least favorite season. Too many leaves to interfere with my knitting. I’m a southern girl, and down there fall means a nice winter – not the northern one that is too cold for me. How’s that. But I really want the surprise package.

Maybe this is predictable, coming from me but..I love fall because of the light.

It’s so hard to say what I like most about fall because the crisp fall air and colored leaves are right up on my list but I think it would have to be sleeping with the window open and being cool enough to use all your comfy blankets to keep warm. Yummy!

Fall is special because, on the religious side, it is the time of year when celebrating the High Holidays helps me renew my spiritual connections and, on the secular side, it is the time when I can enjoy my favorite wool things–flannel pants, tweed jackets and –of course–hand-knit sweaters.

One thing I love about fall is not having to turn on the a/c so I can spin wool without getting too hot. Of course I’d still spin even if the a/c broke on a humid day.
