Bears fans, anyone? or the Fighting Illini? It gets pretty cold at those games! (I had a hard time getting the color right in the photo — this blanket is definitely NAVY and orange, not royal blue as it looks here.)

“Indian Summer”
To my mind, some of the best days of fall are when balmy breezes drift back for a week (or more, if we’re lucky) and tease with their warmth. While the earth’s colors change from the hot summer colors to the cool autumn ones, we also shift our gears down a notch — and enjoy the last lazy outdoor days. This blanket, made up of several sweaters of cashmere and lambswool, comfortably embodies that lazy warmth.

“Sweater Weather”
This blanket reminds me of my days as a schoolgirl in California. Fall was definitely sweater weather. In fact, so was winter. I mean, the sweater was usually the top layer because coat season just wasn’t that long. (I’m in the Midwest now, where the coat goes on top for way too much of the year!) To go with my sweaters when I was in elementary school, my mom sewed some circle skirts out of beautiful plaid wool for me. I loved to twirl in them and make them go all wavy around me. Hmmm…the wool, the sewing, even living in the Midwest where both my parents grew up — it’s all coming full circle.
