Here are some of the things I’m loving about the month of October in Ontario, Canada:

Is there any item of clothing (not counting pyjamas) more comfy, more attractive, more universally loved than a fresh white cotton tee shirt? It goes with everything from jeans to dress pants, under jumpers or sweaters or shirts or jackets.

I started knitting like everyone else: I made a scarf, using big fat needles, and made a lot of big fat mistakes. But surprisingly, I didn’t give up and I eventually decided that it might be more interesting to make say, a hat or, gulp, a sweater.
