My favorite thing about October is my moms Birthday is this month! She is the most amazing strong women I know. Not only would I not exist without her but she taught me how to crochet when my daughter was born 13 months ago! Happy Birthday Mom! 😀
I have never tried your yarn, but if I win I would be happy to make something with it. Looks like a light weight yarn so maybe a dressy sweater or even a shall.
The changing colours of the leaves is so beautiful in October!! This time of year I enjoy the new crop of fruits and vegetables!! Nothing beats a juicy Delicious apple this time of year!! But my really favorite thing about October is that it isn’t January!!! I am not a winter person at all!!! But winter is a great time to sit inside and knit!!!
My favorite thing about October is the changing colors of the leaves and the crisp mornings.
My favorite thing about October is fall weather that makes me think about hot cider and fall/winter knitting.
My favorite is the wounderful smell
My favorite thing about October is the beauty: the leaves turning gold and orange and blowing off the trees against a backdrop of crisp air and a blue, blue sky.
My favorite thing about October is the cool weather which gets us out for our last visit to the local ice cream stand, our visits to the pumpkin patch and apple orchard, going to see grandkids play sports but most of all what I like about October is my Halloween birthday!
The changing colors of the leaves.
This is the month I get to start the Christmas knitting! Ho-ho-ho!
I love Halloween. I dress in my witch costume at 7 a.m. and go about the business of the day in that outfit. I’m retired, so, I ‘trick or treat’ at various stores I regularly shop. In the past, I’ve received a free ice cream cone, a cup of coffee at my usual breakfast spot, and, best of all, I receive wonderful smiles from strangers all day.
My favorite thing about October is cooler weather and my goats kidding! They are so cute and tiny. They look like popcorn popping all over the pasture. Also, with the cooler weather, I can finally consider Christmas presents and begin designs for my family and loved ones! (and maybe even a tiny sweater for a nigerian dwarf kid!)
I love taking all of the wool that was spun up over the summer and turning it into new projects.
What I love most about October is hard to define to only one thing. October is a month of changes. I think I like that the most. Change from hot to cool, the crisp breeze, the falling of the leaves, putting marshmallows in my hot chocolate because I am so addicted to chocolate of any kind. Everything changes in October with it so many possibilities, and I am a believer that change should always be good.
I love decorating for Halloween!!
My favorite part of October is the fall cooking! Tons of soups and pumpkin, and of course sweets 🙂
My favorite thing about October is watching all the deciduous tree leaves changing colour. It’s magic!
October has a crisp, fresh scent that makes the fall colors even more enjoyable.
Love all the colors as the trees change.
Fall leaves
My favorite thing about October is the weather cooling down so it’s not so hot but it still isn’t cold yet. Sunny days and crisp nights!
My favorite thing about October is the changing colors of the trees, in central Wisconsin it’s just majestic! Another thing I like is drinking my tea on the front porch in the brisk cold mornings and enjoying the peacefulness of it all. 🙂
My mother’s birthday was October 11th. This is the first time without her. She passed away on February 3rd of this year 🙁
My favorite thing about October is that it is finally cooling off after the 100 deg temps of August and still too warm to be outside September. I can never get my dog to come inside either as she loves the cooler weather.
My anniversary is in October. Living in Texas, October is finally a break from the heat!! Which means I can crochet large items without dying from heat stroke beneath them lol
My favorite thing about October is the leaves changing, walking dead coming back on and the cooler weather.
My favorite thing ab october is the colors of the leaves!
October 26th is mine and one of my daughter’s birthdays. Green is my favorite color and I would like to win so I can crochet myself this wonderful looking shawl. I think that it would look fabulous on me when I wear it this year and in years to come. I would even wear it to church as it is cool in the church year round.
The changing of the seasons! It’s finally cool enough to wear sweaters and shawls in Virginia!
End of harvest season. I get lazy toward the end.

The cool weather just hit in Florida, so October feels great!

October contains four favorite things, Fall, my and my mother’s birthdays, two days apart, and one of my favorite holidays growing up, Halloween!!! This one is sad, though, my mother passed away last year, so automatically, it’s hard to feel cheerful and want to celebrate our birthdays when she’s not here. On top of that, I’ve been ill with a bad viral upper respiratory infection that has been just awful. I miss her so much and she taught me to knit which inspired me to teach myself to crochet, then I taught her to crochet. I can’t knit or crochet without thinking of her. It’s a soothing, comforting activity for me. I may be sick and can’t celebrate with friends like I’d planned, but I will be knitting… or crocheting… And thinking of you, Mom!!! <3
the changing of the leaves 😀
I love everything about October–the gorgeous changing colors of the leaves on trees, the cooler temperatures, making me want to crochet more crafts, and making me want to bake all the wonderful fall meals, and especially the pumpkin pie and dessert recipes. It is a glorious time of year for me.
I love the color. It would be perfect for a shawl
The chill in the air, the colors of fall and my birthday!
The weather. Sometimes it actually gets a little chilly in New Orleans…….
Living as I do in the beautiful Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, Canada , it is the colors of fruit stands piled high with pumpkin, squash and gourds ,apples ,pears , tomatoes and ground crops. The mountains with vibrant slashes of colors echo the orchards and vineyards pallet. I get to pile on the wooly sweaters ,hats and fingerless gloves and go out and take pictures of natures finery. I spend my evenings crocheting or knitting afghans for those that need to keep warm.
Love the colour of the leaves and the crisp weather
My favorite part of October is that it’s time to get out the warm, cozy sweaters that you’ve made through the years 🙂

Hot spiced cider. Making crafts with my daughter. Is really hard to choose just one thing to be my favorite. I find that in October I have more time to do my hobbies because the weather turns cold and we don’t play outside as much. Every year I sit and sew my daughter a new Halloween costume, a tradition my mother started when I was a little girl. I really love everything about October.

October where I am currently living – on a rough shored island in the Pacific-brings the first sweet tangerines hanging like jewel toned globes on a Christmas tree, golden and purple lilikoi filled with tart juice to be pressed and frozen for cranberry-lilikoi sauce and signals the beginning of a long festival season: daughters and granddaughters birthdays, and the fullness of memories from my own New England childhood as I begin gifting making that spans 6,000 miles.
My favorite thing about October is getting to wear more of my handknits as the weather cools!
Octobeer is a wonderful time to wear all the great things I have made all year and give gifts too! It is cool in the day and chilly at night so all the warm knit and crocheted items are perfect!

The very best thing about October is that the hot sunny days of summer are over and you can start planning for the cold days inside when you can devote more time to knitting or other fiber crafts. I love planning and then carrying out the projects, new and old, that are available. The joy of finding all the new brands of yarn that are available is the best thing you can do with the exception of getting them home and starting each new project.

Halloween is definitely thing about October! I love hearing what my children want to dress up as, & then seeing them in their costumes.
And, just a suggestion, but it would be great if the “leave a comment” section was above people’s comments. Scrolling all the way down to the bottom of the page is a nuisance for those of us who see the contest notification later.
Well after it being so hot and all the gardening and canning, My favorite thing about Oct is the temperature.

I love the weather change. It makes the air clean and clear. I love the colors, too.
KNITTING
In October, we have gorgeous fall colors on the trees, and the weather’s finally turned just cold enough so sweaters outside (and a blanket at night) feel cozy rather than overheated. The farmers are finishing up the harvest, and some enterprising residents gather corn kernels which fall off the trucks carrying the harvest to the grain elevators. (Those folks have to watch for highway traffic during their “gleaning” forays, though!)
Snuggling under a soft afghan made of Homespun yarn!
The change in the color if trees is fantastic. The coolness if the weather and Christmas is right around the corner.
There is so much to love about October! Hot spices apple cider,leaves crunching under foot, fall colors and a good excuse to hunker down in front of the fire to knit.

I like the colors of fall. The 50 shades of gold, organge, red, brown and green just inspire me to pick of my needles and create something that will complement what Mother Nature and God can do. I never get close but enjoy trying.
Beautiful colors here this fall, more so than in an average year! I love the shawl and I would love to try that beautiful yarn!
My favorite thing about October is the changing of the leaves. I live in Muskoka , Canada it is truly beautiful here this time of years. By Thanksgiving the leaves are changed or starting to change depending on the year. They are beautifully colored bright yellows and reds, orange and burgundy. Theres nothing like them amazing to see. I live in a beautiful place. I would be honoured to win this contest and be able to knit something for my grandchildren out of it. Or maybe for myself.
Thanks for the opportunity

October brings about the seasonal changes, cooler weather, coloring of the leaves, bright blue skies, the desire to cook and bake and make things for the colder weather to come.

My favorite thing about October is the changing of the leaves, cool nights and warm sunny days. Then, it is the time to change colors and ideas for dress – which makes it ideal for that hand made shawl, wrap, or scarf.
The smell of crunchy leaves 🙂
I love the fall colors, and halloween candy
My favorite things about October is the changing of colors in the leaves and the cooler temperatures.
Watching the leaves fall down like snow. Hot Chocolate and cuddling on couch with the kiddos.

It’s finally cool enough to crochet & knit bigger projects.

Sweaters! Sweaters! Sweaters! That’s what I love about Fall AND I have my mom, son, daughter in law and my birthdays so I have plenty of people

My favorite thing is the colors of the leaves and the temperatures dropping. I can watch the leaves out the window and the cool temperatures make me not mind so much wool on my lap while I’m knitting or crocheting 🙂
I love to go to the corn maze with my children and we will then cook our pumpkins we bought from the maze.
I get to take my shawls out again before I have to give in to a winter coat.
October always reminds me of the wonderful family vacations to Disneyland that we did every other year when they were little.
Definitely the cooler weather so I can knit larger projects, and the change of color on the trees!
My favorite thing about October is cooler weather so I can knit something warm.
Well, October is sort of hard for me because my mom died of breast cancer in 2006 (October 3rd) and my dad died of colon cancer in 1996 (October 21st). I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 in October. BUT…the great news is that I passed my 5 year marker and am cancer free! YAY! Also love the cooler weather, I can wear some of my woolies…lol.
The thing I like the most is Halloween. I have five daughters, from 35yr. to 11yr. I have made a lot of costumes! I now have 3 granddaughters and a grandson and I knit and crochet for them. I love the challenge to my creativity when we make the costumes to be as real as possible. The colors and fun we enjoy during this time makes for great memories. Now that the girls are older, it’s also a nice time for me to make some things that please me. I would love to make that beautiful shawl to wear as I sit on my deck and enjoy the colors of both the trees and the sunset.
My favorite thing about October is the colors seem to change even here in FL the lighting is different everything looks crisper now.
I love October because it is my mom’s birthday, and because I love Halloween

I love pumpkins! I also like to dive into my holiday knitting. From the first of October until late Christmas Eve I’m knitting like a fool. YIPPEEEEE!!!
I love scuffing my feet in the crunchy, crispy leaves while taking a walk with my Golden Retriever, Heidi. I also love crocheting an afghan and the warmth of it on my lap!
The turning colors of the trees.
Love the cooler evenings where one can curl up with a nice basket of yarn, knitting needles or crochet hooks and work on projects for the Christmas Holidays.
The upcoming Christmas season!!!
The best thing about October for me would be the smell of leaves raked together in a pile, and all the different colors each tree has to share with us. Gorgeous!!
The colorful leaves, crisp mornings with warm afternoons, the apples, pumpkins and the foods and beverages made from them as well as the smell of the leaves and baked goods.
October represents the real ushering in of fall, the changes in the leaves, the thoughts of Thanksgiving. October is a delightful month, full of anticipation.
The lovely warm days and the cooler evenings with the smell of woodsmoke in the air
I love that first day when the air is crisp and the leaves are blowing arOund. .. perfect hike day

My favorite thing about October is getting a chance to wear Halloween sweaters. I have several, but I want to knit another one for next year.
I love the colors and scents of fall, the leaves before they turn brown, the faint smoke from hearth fires and hot Cider with cinnamon and orange slices. There is happiness from harvest and excitement because Holidays of all kinds are coming soon and there is so much to do.
Yes there is hard work involved but wonderful happiness too.
My favorite thing about October is the brisk smell and feel of the air. It seems to give everyone a little bounce in their step.

I just wrote a post on October being my favorite month the other day (and I had 15 things that I love about it). I think if I had to choose one thing, it’s the way the frost looks on the ground first thing in the morning when the sun hits it – all glittery and sparkly like a Tiffany’s window display!
I would be thrilled to win anything from Windy Valley Muskox!
My favorite month is October, the home of my favorite Holiday, since only on Halloween can we stay in our own homes, eat a rushed meal of hot dogs and chili, and entertain trick-or-treaters while our home-made pumpkin pie bakes in the oven. Oh, how I am wishing for a cold front to fire up my drive to knit and crochet. ( I just know it is on it’s way.)
My daughter was born on October 15 so that’s what I love about October…:)
My daughter was born on October 1st. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me. In a life filled with disappointment and loneliness, Erin is my salvation.
IDK I’ve never had an October like this. This is my fisrt time in the US.I’m an Au Pair. My October usually are hot…so far I like the color changing leaves.
My favorite thing about Oct. is Halloween time…I love seeing the little kids in their cute costumes.
My favorite things about October is all the wonderful color!
Have you ever smelled a stable in October? Something about all the smells in the crisp air is serendipidious. Beautifully perfect. I volunteer with an equine therapy group, and I race to the stable tosadde up the horses and greet the riders.
I love when tthe leaves change to bold firey colors and the smell of wood burning in wood burning stoves and fireplaces.
My favorite part of fall is : I love the crispness in the air and a little hint of snow in the mountains. I like to say that October is one of my favorite colors. Because the fall leaves are so beautiful.
Warm sweaters, gloves on my hands, and the glow in my cheeks from a brisk breeze.
Apple and pumpkin picking!
I love pumpkin flavored tea, coffee, and almost any cake or pastry, along with soups. October brings all the pumpkins out and I really enjoy it. Halloween is nice,too. Knitting takes on a new meaning as the weather gets cooler. 😉
I love October because my birthday month, my anniversary and changing of the leaves here in Western PA. Love crocheting afghans at this time of year because of their warmth .
The thing I love about October is seeing the Fall Colors and Gardeners/Farmers Harvesting.
fall is a good time to start wearing all those handmade items, my cowls, scarfs etc. I never have used your yarn but I can see me now making something wonderful with it.
My favorite thing about October is Halloween! All those cute little kids in their costumes all excited about candy!
my favorite thing about October is that it reminds me of my home town since my mom loves fall weather and the changing leaves, I can’t be there with my family but seeing the leaves and hearing them crunch still reminds me of them
Funny thing, when I am flying through my facebook page and see yarn I slam on the brakes and back up. It’s like an addiction to me ( just ask my husband if we have a second bedroom). I very rarely make anything for myself, always for baby’s or relatives. Right now I am working on a sports team afghan for my brother, It’s a surprise for Christmas. But I have to tell you this yarn is beautiful. It is something I would never buy for myself. I know it is very expensive but the color is stunning and I have green eyes. It would be nice to whip up a prayer shawl or lacy infinity scarf. Thanks for the chance!
I love the warm days and cool nights and especially crunching through newly fallen leaves!
My favorite thing about October is the weather is cooler, so I can start working on warmer projects, shawls/blankets/hats & mits..
I love October for the following reasons: Cool temperatures, colourful trees, crisp apples, winter birds, warm handmade shawls, cozy warm sweaters, hot homemade soups and stews, flavourful teas in your favourite mug, fires in the fireplace, playing in the leaves with my grandchildren, long walks in the woods scuffling through the leaves, acorns, chestnuts, working on Christmas knitting/crocheting and finally, looking forward to the first snowfall!
Although she’s left this world, it’s my mother’s birthday month. It’s also my grandson’s birthday. I love October because the weather is so much cooler! And that means, I get to wear sweaters again! And knitting is so much better when it’s cooler!
Halloween…the candy and costumes and chilly weather!!
The things I like best about October are the cooler temperature is great for long walks, sitting and knitting and taking knaps. I love the leaves changing colors – they always inspire knitting ideas. It is the time of year when I am most driven to find time to knit – finishing up projects and starting new ones.
I love the clear fresh air, bright sunny days and crisp nights. This year I am retired from 44 years of teaching high school mathematics and it is a complete joy to be outside every day, multiple times each, taking long walks with my new rescue puppy, Genny. So many possibilities.
Love the colors and bright sunshine before the rain sets in
I love the windy days and falling leaves…time to knit by the fire! Longer evenings and quiet time.
Cool weather, gorgeous leaves, campfires…that unforgettable scent in the air.
The best part of October in Florida are the cooler weather where you can comfortably sit, watch the games and knit or crochet at the same time, and of course take the occasional nap!
I love the weather crisp and cool enough to start wearing sweaters and long pants. Knit with a lap full of fiber and all the autumnal colors.
October is my favorite month because of all the pumpkins & pumpkin recipes in the magazines. Also, in California, the weather is cooler.
Halloween is the best part of October
I love the cooler weather after the hot summer here in the southeast!
October means cooler weather, and that means easier breathing! Plus, I love the fall colors and the fruit and vegetables from the garden that only come in the fall, Acorn Squash is a favorite. Getting cosy in the house with a piece of crocheting, learning new stitches, patterns. The more you know, the more there is to learn.
Gorgeous fall leaves!
It is the month of change.
October is the beginning of all the fall and winter holidays that we celebrate and we get to celebrate!!
I love the cool, crisp, clean air.
I love October! The changing of the leaves, and best of all, wearing my favorite knits!
Getting comfy with my knitting and crocheting in my favorite chair and my PJ’s on!
The wonderful colours of the fall leaves.
Oh, gee, what DON’T I like about October? the colours of the leaves have changed, early in the month, then fall, signalling nature’s winter nap.There is the smell of burning leaves on the breeze, and someone’s homemade apple pie for Thanksgiving. There is Thanksgiving itself, a time to reflect on what life has gifted to us. And of course, there’s the Meal, followed by turkey sandwiches and casseroles. There are all the family birthdays, incuding my own on the 31st. The best part, though: holding the hand of a small child while we walk through the piles of leaves beside the street, kicking them up in the air.
My birthday is October 4th LOVE Halloween it has always been my favrote time of the year. If i win I would like to make myself something nice, I never make myself anything and I have never worked with your yarn… would LOVE to 🙂
I find nothing prettier than colorful leaves blowing in the wind on a warm October day…and Taffy apples, now that is an October “thing”. I have to get one every time I go to the store. It’s the kid in me.
Anything to do with Fall weather is great news for me. Getting in to the holidays coming and all the smell of the new season.
October is my favorite color!!! Changin leaves, bonfires, pumpkins, apples, soft cuddly afghans!
My favorite thing about October is that my sister Cindy has a birthday today, and she’s my favorite knitting buddy!
I like all the cheap candy. I also like pumpkin spiced foods.
October is my unofficial start of the holiday season beginning with Halloween then Thanksgiving leading to Christmas. It’s three months of joy for me. Also, the cooler temperatures enable me to work on larger projects like afghans in comfort.
My favorite thing about October are the memories of bonfires and hayrides, apple cider and pumpkin pie. The colors of fall and the scents of wood fires on the crisp autumn air have inspired me, as an artist, to create some of my best work in several media, including needlework.
I love the perfect cool of the air, the colors, the smell of burning leaves and that I can finally wear my favorite sweaters, scarves and wraps again!
Watching all the leaves turn color is my favorite thing in October!!

October is a time to finish up all the garden produce. The changing leaves, the fresh cool breeze. It’s also a time to start my crafts for Christmas.
I’ve never worked a project in alpaca yarn. However, we have a local small farmer who has 17 alpacas on his property. They look so cute and cuddly that I’d love to try.

What I don’t like about Oct–is all the falling leaves thay I have rake when I would rather curl up on the couch and crochet with your lovely yarn with a fire in the fire place–but still it is a nice time of the year and I do like being outside raking the leaves as much as I don’t want to admit it!~

I love the changing colors of fall in October. The air has a smell to it all its own, giving you a scent of the change in the coming season. There is a squirrel in a tree out in front of my house and I enjoy watching him hoarding acorns and such for the coming winter. Making various projects in fall colors is fun…the grandkids never know what I will be making next. Every year I make new hats with matching scarfs and mittens, not only for my 12 grandkids but for friends as well. At Christmastime we have mystery gift exchange with the cousins, have never had a complaint yet! I would be great to win some yarn, no matter what color!
I have many favorite things about October! I love the smell of the crisp clear air, the crunching of leaves underfoot, the glorious colors that Mother Nature paints in the trees, the sweet crisp new apples by the bushel, the rich earthy tones, and to top it all off October is the month my late husband and sister were born! What’s not to celebrate about OCTOBER! <3
The leaves changing colors. The time for making all those wonderful soups and stews, baking all those breads and pies. The smell of wood fires. Making warm sweaters. afghans, mittens, and more.
I have 3 favorites! Hunting, harvest, and Halloween. I’ve seen some great knitting patterns that celebrate all three October themes. 🙂 Happy fall, everyone!
My favorite thing about October is I now get to wear sweaters. Ones I’ve bought or ones that have been knitted.
I love the colors, I love the crisp, cool air. I love Halloween. I love the coming of the holiday season. I love sitting near the crackling fireplace knitting and crocheting things for family and friends. I remember who taught me to crochet and knit, and I thank them for their love in showing me.
My favorite thing about October is my wedding anniversary!
We have Harvest Dinner/Pastor Appreciation in Oct. The meal is like having Thanksgiving a month early. Yum! And, since I’m a pastor, my church family shows me so much kindness and generosity that it truly touches my heart. I belong to an awesome church. Small and loving.
I love the big variations of weather in October in Wisconsin. It can be a beautiful blue-sky summer-like day one day, and gray-skies rainy and high in the 30s the next day. The leaves are glorious, and the gone from the trees. Every day is amazing!
Actually I prefer spring and summer months but if I have to like something about October it would be the cooler weather so I can work on my bigger projects without sweating…
My favorite things about October have to be watching the leaves on the trees reach peak color. Being able to pull out those heavy projects to finish…such as afghans and shawls. Fresh apples right off the tree and the smell of the crisp air and of course watching the kids on Halloween all dressed up in there cute costumes.

Having spent most of my first 52 yearsl in upstate NewYork, I miss the changing colors, trips to the apple and pumpkin farms, and cool weather, but for the past 17 years in Florida, I now welcome “cooler” wrath we (70’s not 90’s). I also love all the decorations fo the holidays.. Halloween, thanksgiving , and Christmas
I live in the south, and it is usually pretty hot until the end of September. I love October because the cooler air finally arrives. Eventually in the month the trees begin to turn colors. I think of my daughter’s birthday as the first sign of Autumn. It is on the 13th.
I have to admit that my favorite thing about October is having my birthday on Halloween. Of course I also love the cool weather and all of the lovely fall colors that are showing up in the trees.
My favorite things about October is the changing colors of all the leaves here in New England. You start the beginning of the month with the colors in the hilly areas and end the month with the colors finally reaching the shoreline. It is a month of color.
