Get your Toast on
I am entirely won over by Autumn's charms now, happy to let summer fade away. The first evening fires of the season and a basket brimming with yarn make my heart beat with contentment.
There truly is no better time to be a knitter than Autumn, it is so gratifying to pull out the woollen scarves and cast on for a new sweater. On Friday a nip in the morning air and a browse through the latest Toast catalogue filled me with an immediate need to cast on for something new.
A pair of Toast of course, as created by the very lovely Leslie at A Friend to Knit With.
Cast on for the first one on Friday evening and cast off the second on Sunday, wore on Monday. So very gratifying.
This time I used a yarn new to me, Sirdar Balmoral , a really rather nice and very reasonably priced combination of wool, alpaca and silk. I may even knit up a sweater in this, I just wish they would broaden the colour range.

That's an interesting new Sirdar yarn, I hope my lys will carry it. Yes, I wish Sirdar yarns had more colours.
Thank you also for the tip on the Sirdar yarn.
Best wishes!
