Well, it might not actually be Bonfire Night yet per se, but seeing as I went to my favourite Fireworks Display on Thursday the 1st I thought I would post these pictures as I hinted at before. I really like Bonfire Night/Guy Fawkes Night as an occasion, why do we need to adopt Halloween here in England when we've already got this seasonal celebration? (It's only a shame that this custom originates - like many others I'm sure - from such a somewhat 'un-PC' source - I think this might be a good example when it is OK to let the root of your traditions get a little bit lost!)

What wonderful pics of the fireworks! My poor dogs are far less keen on this particular celebration and are only just coming out of their hiding holes!
Muir looks stunning and what a fantastic shade of yarn you've chosen. Can't wait to see further progress...
Halloween is actually a very old festival that has it's roots in pagan celebrations and so is a lot older than Bonfire night - which actually amuses me that we're celebrating someone trying to blow up parliament! Muir looks odd pre-blocking I'd never have guessed what it was! Looking forward to seeing how it looks blocked! Have you seen Juno Regina on Knitty?
