Fall is here...

...apparently, anyway. Rainy cool day with leaves falling rapidly from the trees. The big tree across the street is still very green and full...whereas the one in my front yard is nearly bare already.
Ds and his gf are here for a visit while he is on leave from the Army. They brought me the most scrumptious yarn! Rohrspatz & Wollmeise ( http://www.rohrspatzundwollmeise.de/ ) in 2 fantastic colors... Pfauenauge which is dyed in greens, blues and purple, and Indisch Rot which is in vibrant reds. I had started my Fawkes socks in Lorna's Laces, but ripped and restarted in the Indisch Rot. Both yarns are of the same weight and texture, but the LL has a bit duller reds and some purples. Have worked the first sock thru the leg and am now starting the heel flap. This pattern is fairly easy, doesn't get boring, works up fast...so hoping I don't get bogged down with SSS.
