knit, purl, rib and cable

yes, there has actually been some knitting
happening here
with my Knitting Companion.

my new Snowglobe is pretty

who doesn't like a snowglobe?

I received this lovely globe
for Christmas. the sparkles are golden.
It's so fun and plays "o tanenbaum".

Winter is here

my new boots.
They keep me
toasty and dry here in
Montreal, in the winter.



Sorel boots in red.

Yarn Love . . . or just the idea of it

ooh: i'm obsessing over a
New-to-me
type of yarn.
it's called Madeline Tosh Sock yarn.
To be honest, i haven't even
seen this yarn yet. But i'm just dying to try it.

Look here, at Julie's shop to see the Link.

Better late than never

Just a few days before
Christmas, I started
knitting a gift for a special friend.

Then there were some delays. Of
course, that's what happens when
you start something at the last minute.
Because it was such a small project, I
thought it would be done for New Year's day.

That didn't work out.

Yesterday morning, i finished off my little project.
It was dark in the house, despite the time of day.
I sewed in the ends of my darkly coloured project.
Twenty minutes later, it dawned on me that
i had better check the finishings - it was SO dark
in the house - could i really see what i had been doing?

Well, no,
apparently not.

I will re-do my finishings now.

*sigh*





Maybe i should buy a good light
for my knitting-spot?
I think it's time.
