It’s autumn!  Up here in the mountains, the leaves are already starting to turn and it’s cooler every day.

Okay, I’m lying.  There’s been near record-breaking heat and it feels just like summer.  But the leaves really are quite pretty this time of year.

 

 

 

 

In honor of my second favorite season, I decided whip up a pattern for these crochet aspen leaves.

Whip up.  Hee hee.  Oh, ha ha.

So it took a little longer than the phrase “whip up” might lead you to believe.  But I still managed to watch a whole bunch of football while I worked this one up.

 

Wanna give it a try?

Now I need to decide what I’ll make with all of them…  A scarf?  A mobile?  A garland?  What are you going to make?

If you do make something, leave a little note in the comments – I want to see what you come up with!
