drift

The temperature outside at the moment is telling me it's time to trying knitting again. So, while I was in the city yesterday (actually, Thursday, as blogger lost this post!), I popped into Clegs and found this beautiful, chocolatey coloured, thick wool ...






























I want to make another scarf of some sort (maybe a cowl) because I wear them every day when it's cold. I'm in the process of looking around for some simple patterns, so any recommendations would be welcome! What are you knitting this year?

Thanks for the lovely comments about my cushion swap cushion - I was thrilled - it's a shame that blogger lost all of those that were made on Thursday. Nevermind!







P.S. If you're like me and you can't knit very well yet, my friend Jaimie has just started knitting things for people. You can find Jaimie here.

I think your swap cushion is totally fab and extremely clever.
And I am excited that you are part of the knitting gang again. x

Very nice wool. Look forward to seeing the finished product. I really like to knit, love the rhythum (think thats spelt wrong) anyway I am really bad when it comes to shaping necks and things, usually get someone to finish off for me.

Gorgeous wool. It will make a perfect cowl! If you visit oneprettything.com and search for cowl, there are lots of fairly simple patterns to be found.

That is absolutely gorgeous wool and should keep you warm and toasty when it's knitted up. Look forward to seeing the finished scarf.
