I recently ordered two beautiful braids of roving from the truly delightful Patricia of Yummy Yarns UK. If I'm horribly 100% honest they weren't quite the colour I'd expected (the joys of monitor variation, NOT I hasten to add any fault of Patricia's) but I've got to say I possibly love them even more than what I was expecting.
When loading them up into Ravelry though I was suddenly stuck when putting in a name for them (for non-Ravelers, whenever you place a yarn or fibre in your stash you have to enter the name of the yarn etc. Easy for shop bought commercially produced stuff, not so much for handspun). My moment of inspiration though was in looking again at the braids. I'd already decided that I wanted to make a cowl and mittens set from them, to snuggle into on those cold morning commutes, and the weather here has just begun to take on the slightest hint of autumn.
With that in mind, a sense of gladness for another academic year completed, new job opportunities on the horizon, the potential for a Masters degree in the near future... and of course finally seeing my DH again soon, "Autumn's Gift" just seemed to fit...
