On a grey rainy late summer day, like today, my thoughts inevitably turn towards autumn. As much as I love spring and summer, there is always something alluring about a new season... new clothes... new colours and textures at home.
I have recently finished my latest cable knit cushion cover (in a different pattern than these), in a totally delicious grey cashmere/alpaca mix "Kashmir Alpakka" from SandnesGarn. The softness is unbelievable, and worth the rather hefty price tag on the yarn.
I do like the way the soft grey works with the pinks in the chair´s loose cover. I also like the way the cushion matches my favourite grey knit/crochet blanket.
But just to assure you (and myself!) that it still is indeed summer, I have included the very colourful (and quite clashing) bouquet I picked yesterday for a lovely dinner party with friends on the deck. The candles in my "lanterns" (from the previous post) were lit and cast their pretty light late into the August night...

A lovely post Mia. I do love your grey blanket and your flowers. Over here our thoughts are turning to Spring! It is very nice to see your posts again ...
Oh Mia, I absolutely LOVE your chair! xxx
Amazing!!! I love the new pillow!! And great to see the grey blanket again. Xx
Mia, all those photographs of your deck certainly show what a perfect setting it is for all times of the day. (Unless rain appears, of course.)
Your newest cabled cushion cover is so serenely elegant, and perfectly knit. Those colorful garden flowers provide the perfect accent.
There are greys, and then there are greys, and you definitely perceive the difference. It's a glorious color.

A beautiful knitted cushion perfect for the coming autumn. Both the blanket and cushion look perfect with that pretty floral chair.
Så nydelig pute, synes det ser så vanskelig ut med sånn flettestrikk;) Garnet høres fantastisk ut, får prøve det etterhvert. Nydelig bukett også-mange flotte blomster i din hage. Har bestemt meg for å bare så blomster til snitt i kjøkkenhagen til neste år...tror jeg får mer glede av det- enn av salat som blir til sneglemat. Håper du får en fin søndag;)
I'm so glad to have your beautiful posts back! I love your garden and your home and I really admire the things you create. The cable cushion is on my to-do-list ever since I saw it in my favourite colour pink months ago.
Have a wonderful Sunday,
Andrea

I am so thankful to have found you again. I love your blog ... and have missed you. This morning I was reading Madelief's blog and I saw your site listed as a favorite. You can imagine my delight at seeing that you were back. It must be tiring to keep up with a blog -- thank you for the beautiful work you do. Blessings on your sweet head for health and strength.
Oops -- correction. I saw your site listed on "Little Cottage Comforts" Want to get credit to the kind blogger who alerted me to your return. Have a wonderful end of summer. Leslie
Hei Maj! Hyggelig at du likte puten. Jeg har ikke strikket dette mønsteret før, men noe lignenede i tykkere garn. Jeg har nå oppdatert dette innlegget med linker til de tidligere putene, med "oppskrift".
Jeg holder på å strikke en pute til i dette mønsteret i kremfarge. Når den er ferdig kan jeg legge ut oppskriften på den, hvis det er interesse for det.
Vakre bilder
What a lovely soft pale grey cushion, I bet it feels wonderful to the touch!
The flowers from your garden are simply glorious! The orange, yellow and pinks are wonderful together.
Wishing you lots more weeks of summer with a chance of sun before the autumn weather starts.
