Sparkling

January almost gone. 

Mornings are getting a little lighter, my spirit likewise.

I just wish it would stop snowing now - I am fed up of shoveling the stuff away. It's a time-thief :-)

A scarf/shawl with a sparkle - I made a blue/grey one, too - but that was out of the house before I got a photo taken. Easy, no-brainer telly knitting. 

Have a nice day! 

A warm finish

This has really been a wisp ... 

nearly finished and then put aside for a whole year!!

The snow that has been falling for the last week made me dig it out again and at last it is finished.

And all 86 threads are sewn in as well!

Warm and soft alpaca wool.

Now I suppose I must get out in the snow to use it! Didn't think that one through, did I?

January

And it's cold outside - the snow has finally arrived!

 So I needed some sunshine (admittedly the colors are a bit bright here).

Tutorial for 2 sided zippered purse found at Sew Christine.

 More of a winter look now.

Leftover yarn made into warm socks for son #2.

I do like sitting indoors in the warm with my knitting - watching the snow fall silently past the window ...... we'll have another go at clearing paths tomorrow :)
