He built a lovely fire in the living room to "cook marshmallows." He warned me that "some of these have wheat in them, but these (blue blocks) are the gluten-free ones.
Then he spread out some yarn so he can jump over it.
Minutes ago he was busy trying to knit. "I am going to knit a sweater for Uncle John,"He told me.
I am working on a cardigan, so close to the end it is hard to put it down. Sorry for the dark photos, but I don't want to move from my cozy nest of warm blankets. It has warmed up to a sunny 5 degrees!
I am also working on this lovely shawl, because, yes, peer pressure is alive and well. Since July a small group of knitters have been after me to have a KAL (knit along) of the lovely Princess Kate Shawl. My reluctance stemmed from the idea of knitting 2000 plus yards of lace weight yarn on teeny tiny needle. I finally agreed and found a scrumptious cashmere blend fingering weight yarn (only slightly thicker than lace weight)?hand dyed in Maine. This is the equivalent of knitting about 18 socks??? The pattern is not difficult, but tedious and the pattern changes ever so slightly by repeating a sequence of 16 pattern rows. The KAL begins tonight and I have a good start. At last count we had 6 knitters already working on this. This is at least a six month project and with my tendency to become bored may become a 6 year project.
Time for lunch !!
