Winter has now arrived and settled in good and properly. We have even had a few very cold and eerily foggy misty days. I loved it. This is definitely the most favourite time of the year for me.
These are just a little view of how it looked, the photos of the roads was in the afternoon going home, and the others were taken in the mornings when I arrived at my place of work. And yes, we drive on the “other side” of the road for those who may have wondered. 🙂
It did then also mean lots of knitting and crafting. I finished the dark grey cowl for my daughter. She really got cute yarn, and the speckles in this dark one is even prettier and brighter than the previous one.
Of course, new WIP’s are on the needles as well. I started another beanie for my son in law, in lovely warm Manos del Uruguay. It is knitting up so fast. And I started a wrap for myself. This is Alpaca yarn from Turkey and I am absolutely loving it.
Rare Earth Beanie
When I dropped in at my LYS during last week, they had Rowan Kidsilk available at a discounted price. How awesome. I simply could not resist getting these dark jewel colours, each with a bit of sparkle of its own. Then I also spoiled myself with some new KnitPro Zing needles, in the smaller sizes, ideal for lace and sock knitting. They were a bit extensive compared to others, however I just know they will be worth the price.
If you are using these needles already, let me know what you thought of them. 🙂
Happy crafting all.
