Is anyone else looking forward to cool autumnal mornings and evenings, and the chance to put on a nice thick wool sweater again?
I am longing for autumn/fall - for this pleasure, and for the colours and gentle light.

Outdoor Knitwear have just reissued the maroon version of the Woolly Pully. The last time I wore a maroon WP was when I was a student in the 1980s. I might well buy one again.
