I love the smell of the rain here in the great northwest. The fresh air after a rain shower is perfect for taking a walk while staying warm in your own hand knit sweater!
I love autumn watching the forest change colors.
I love Fall. I enjoy waking up early and working out, roasting marshmallows by the fireplace, raking leaves and seeing my friendly neighbors. I love wearing warm sweaters, hats, gloves and covering at night with a warm blanket!
My favorite Fall days are when it is bright and sunny and there is a little nip in the air.
Fall is the warm up for family visits and remember past family gatherings. Snuggling up with hot chocolate and watching movie with friends. Fall is also when you can finally knit large projects without sweating:p
I love the crisp, cool weather and the rustling of leaves as you walk through them.
The fall colours in nature are the best
I live in Florida where the seasons are more subtle. When the temps start dropping at night into the 60s, it’s heaven to go out and take a walk.
Beautiful sweater. I love the stranded pattern. My favorite thing about fall is that I can start pulling out my wooly items here in South Texas.
The smell of leaves and the woodburning stove. Fall is the best!

Absolutely the best thing about Autumn is the crisp, coolness to the air. Time to dig out the sweaters and cuddle!

We’re heading into the dry season so it no longer feels like a sauna outside – love wanting to take a long walk again!
Thanks for the opportunity.
Cooler weather to wear my knitted pretties and football are the best things about fall!!!
I like the way fall smells. Outside it smells cleaner and crisp, inside it smells like cinnamon and apples and pumpkins.
Fall is the season that invites to do something outdoors. Not too hot, not too cool, and just pretty all around.
Crisp, cool days and beautiful colors are my favorite things about fall.
I love the colors of the leaves in the fall with the sun shining on them they are so bright. I love to knit anytime of year!!!
The scents and sounds of fall are harbingers of the under-appreciated day of thanks giving. Would it be a better world if Thanksgiving were a season? I’m thankful for good health, time to knit and for all furry creatures who provide us with wool!
Crazy but I love to wear my scarfs, sweaters, cardigans and I love my turtlenecks. And I love making almost everything I wear.
I finally get to wear sweaters & layers again. Oh, and of course, yummy pumpkin treats.

I live in the Catskill Mountains of NY – the most glorious place to be in October in the whole wide world. Azure blue sky and golden maple leaves.
My favorite thing about fall is the beautiful colors the leaves turn to. We always take a drive up in the mountains, when you are up on top and look out, it’s like a giant patchwork quilt done in all my favorite colors! I also love the crispness that begins to be in the air, especially in the morning. Then at night the stars can seem so close you could touch them. I love everything about fall, the smells of people burning piles of leaves, the trees, stews and chilis and cornbread.

The sound of rain and wind outside when your inside, curled up on the couch with your knitting.

My favorite thing about fall is the colors….oranges, golds, browns, greens, reds. So warm and inviting to the eye to linger and enjoy!
The fall colours are my favourite fall thing
I live in the Pacific North West; I love the first of the autumnal storms. We go from stillness to wind whipped frenzy, to drizzle punctuated by rainbows. It will continue to rain throughout the winter but it always starts with theatrics and rainbows.
Apple picking!!!
Mother Nature starts to rest…the leaves change to all the colors of yarn I wish I had. The temperature drops so you can pull out your woolies and enjoy a crackling fire.
My favourite about fall is the cooling of the weather, the smell of rain in the air, leaves changing colour, and of course, sweater knitting in full swing.

Leaves falling from the vibrantly colored trees on windy days.
Definitely love the cooler weather and being able to wear a sweater and scarf
I love watching the leaves changing colors!
After a long, hot summer, the crisp, cool air is a welcome change! Fall colors are somehow warming and “comfortable” – and once in a while, you just want an excuse to slip into that favorite cardigan/sweater and gad about in that fresh, chilled air!
I like the cooler temperatures and the beautiful colors in the changing leaves.
It’s got to be that the garden is put to bed, all the canning and jam making done, so now I can sit and knit with a clear conscience!

Gathering the falling leaves and having the woodstove burning 🙂
Living in North East Florida doesn’t give me much time to wear heavy sweaters. So I love knitting all fall just to wear the sweaters for a few weeks in the short winter months we have.
The shades of yellow, orange, red, burgundy which surrounds me. The grey gloomy sky alternating with cool sunny weather. The chill from the rain. Coziness, perfect for starting fire in my fireplace, hot drinks, wolen sweaters, and knitting!

Fall is my fave season, everything looks so mice, and we greatly anticipate the holidays too! Thanks!
Walking through the park with my dog , kicking at the leaves, wrapped up nice and cosy x
I love Fall because of the weather change. There is a nip in the air that doesn’t bite like winter. Cool enough to be refreshing and perhaps grab a light blanket, but not so cold your toes feel frozen!

My favorite thing about fall is getting to make and wear sweaters like this! What a great updated look. I love see traditional patterns made new again.
The colours, the cool temperatures, kicking all the leaves, digging out my sweaters, the school busses back on the road and the way I always know when it’s 3:20 pm, flying Vs of geese, roasting “winter” vegetables in the oven with chicken for supper, home made soup after a summer of salads…
Now that fall is here with its rain and cool temps, I can pull out my shawls and cardigans to keep me warm!
I love the influx of that northern smelling cool air.

Fall leaves, rain, and the lazy clouds that settle in around the trees in the back yard. I love living in the foothills of Mt. Adams in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. No better place on earth!
