Happy October! I would say without a doubt that October is a favorite month among the staff at Knit Picks. The weather has a nice crispness to it before the dreary winter rain of the Pacific Northwest starts up again. Not to mention Halloween!

“Fact: Fall is the best time of the year.”
Dwight Schrute
Okay. That is not an actual quote as Dwight Schrute is not an actual person, but I’m pretty confident that if he was real, he would totally make that statement. Needless to say, I would agree with him 1000%. Perhaps the thing that I love most about fall is the soul fortifying relief that it offers after the sultry days of summer. Having grown up in the high desert as a child, I relish the opportunity as an adult to surround myself with the spectacle of deciduous trees in autumn. Between the crisp, earthy air and brilliantly colored landscape, my nesting (and creative) tendencies kick into high gear.

In my neighborhood, we have several crows (or a murder if you will) who enjoy out in our large trees – teasing squirrels seems to be their hobby.
