Autumn strikes, with soy-gurt and knit

We celebrated the beginning of Autumn. The Good Gourd, which rolls to kids houses with fall-glee and presents in tow, dropped in to take a look at the amazing painting Little Bit and I did. He, LB, not the Gourd, painted all of the actual objects, I just helped him color it all in. In case you're wondering, the Good Gourd, which is pictured in the above painting, is much like the Spring Fairy but rounder, full of roastable seeds, and well, a bit more confusing. We're not a religious people so we celebrate the seasons, and we do it in a particularly wacky way. The Good Gourd brought the Little Bit a freakin' trampoline, breaking out of the usual low-key, homemade presents mold. I'm not sure how he afforded it but there it is, all big and bouncy. He loves it, we bounced all day, or as long as my cardiovascular would allow, which is about 10 minutes before I require a rest of as much time. With it, 'm sure to be down to 15lbs in no time flat.

Oh yeah, just a glimpse of how cool my son (who is insisting on both a unicorn horn, and pig tails lately) is, there's a shelf in our frig that he can reach and is filled with yummies he gets to eat when he wants and on his own. One such thing that's usually on the shelf is several flavors of soy yogurt. Today he told me that he really liked the new flavor we got but that he was a bit somber that it didn't taste like what it was supposed to green bean and flower. Heh. It's vanilla but the picture looks remarkably like a long green bean and yellow flower. What got me was that he looked at that picture, decided that it was green bean and flower and thought, mmmm...green bean and flower yogurt, I better eat that one!.

He's my little biscuit head.

And in knitting news, which I know has been sparser than hamhocks in vegan bean soup, here's what I've been working on. It's actually seamed up now, though the zipper isn't in, nor is the neck on yet. i was going to submit is somewhere, but decided to just post the pattern on my site, all free-like. If you look closely, you can kinda see the diamonds on the front panels (the lighter green). It's super cool and I'm excited to wear it every freakin' day. Also, it's all my own handspun! Rock.
