October here in the Pacific Northwest is often our transition month. The beginning will have nice weather with a touch of coolness to the nights, then something will shift and a string of storms will come across the Pacific Ocean to begin the rain that won't quit until May. This year some cold air came down prior to the storms and gave us some frosty nights. I heard a few grumbles in the corridors of my office building but I was delighted because it meant I could wear my woollens made up last year. The wool slippers came out for evening TV watching, the Queen Anne's Lace came out for barring the drafts, and Joe's scarf is ready for those early morning walks from the parking lot to the building. I finished one of the Mini Mochi mittens yesterday and will start the second. I want to knit Beaumont but the gauge is not as fine as the mittens, so I'm going to have to do some math and graphwork to work out something. But if the mittens are done, then I'll have something pretty for my hands.

We saw some gorgeous Mochi Plus (worsted weight) at Boersma. In case you wanted to try something but didn't have the right size.
Your mitten is gorgeous, in case I didn't get that across this morning while everyone else was drooling over it. I'm having the same delight in the weather as you are - those corridor grumblers just don't know any better.
I *almost* envy you your colder winters. Most of the time heavy wool isn't required down here in No. Cal., but I did break out my pi shawl this week :-)
Happy Fall!
