Knitting is a perfect pasttime when autumn comes. During the summer months I love to spend time in the garden in the afternoons and nights, but now the daylight is almost finished when I finish work. And we can't go out on flash light hikes every night :-) Besides reading and listening to opera, knitting is my favorite activity in autumn and winter (though different types of crossword puzzles and sudoku's are also fighting for a place on top of that list). A few days ago I finished a pair of fancy socks which are now on their way over the Atlantic to a new owner.
