Happy First Day of Autumn!

I’m celebrating  with an uncharacteristically autumnal color: Plums. I usually dye and spin crazy bright colors, but these rainy first day of Autumn (and, I’ll admit, a dyepot mistake) inspired this deep purpley gray.

I’m stocking up on Autumnal inspiration by reading about everyone else’s fall crafty-ness. Here are a few of my favorites:

• Blair celebrates the color of plums (this post inspired the name of the yarn above)
• Cosymakes talks about transitions
• Soulemama shares the color of the season with gorgeous photography
• Angry Chicken rounds up  Autumn crafts (and baking!)

I don’t know if I’ll be dyeing many more autumnal colors, because I still love my brights, but I love soaking in the colors of the season!
