You Know it's Love When...

...a knitting book is added to his Amazon order to get the free shipping rather than another CD.
My current greatest yarn love is pictured here too - Colinette Jitterbug in Raspberry, leaves and all. As for any other yarn purchases, that's between me and Ravelry these days and anyway most of it is meant for gifts ;0)
The second pair of legwarmers are all done; for details see here - these are just a bit longer but still about a ball and a half of the Rowan Plaid. There may well be more of these off my needles in the future as they were well received. I am also tempted by a pair of knee high socks in this yarn - could there be any socks more cosy? These chilly autumn days must be getting to me.

There should be much knitting ahead this weekend - which gets a mention today as - joy of joys - it is a four dayer for me! I shall try and put down my needles long enough for my friend's wedding on Saturday.

lol Yep, sounds like love and an absolute keeper there;)!! My version is when he sits like a statue to let you wind yarn, despite the fact he's usually a fidget monkey, AND doesn't complain!

The Jitterbug range is just glorious, isn't it? And have a wonderful time at the wedding ... and knitting over the weekend.

What a fantastic guy you have, as long as he is not secretly wanting to become a knitter himself, make sure you keep your stash locked up just in case, lol! Those legwarmers are super, they look lovely and warm, perfect for these chilly days. Have a fabulous knitterly long weekend :)

Definitely sounds like love! How funny AND sweet! and it's a great book to have.

Love the legwarmers! I'm envious of your cool weather, we're still having days in the 80s (F) and could very well have days in the 90s this time of year but usually the nights cool off, at least in the 70s...hahahaha.

Have a great weekend!

Christmas TIME

I've hit the December point known as - "if only there were more time" - I think it about a thousand times a day as I have yet another crazy idea of something to make/cook/do for Christmas. I like to think that if I could just abandon the job for December that I'd get it all done. I'd get more done for sure but it could never be 'all' as the inspiration out there ensures fresh supplies of schemes for wintery delights - like learning to crochet just to make snowflakes or building my own snow village or... well I'm sure you all get the idea and have a billion things bubbling over that you'll never quite get to. So it's prioritise like crazy, craft for sanity (and if it is as simple as wrapping some berries and mistletoe round a heart shaped wreath - jump for joy) and I try to remember that seeing the people I'm making the presents for is the most important thing of all! I don't think I'll be back here before I head down to the wilds...

The Keeping Cosy Winter Shawl

  Pattern: Springtime Bandit   Yarn: Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend, Colour: Atlantic Started: November 2010 Finished: January 16th 2011 Ravelry page I think photographing this shawl has been ten times the challenge that knitting it was! I've taken several shots over several days to try and capture the glory of this red yarn, I'm calling it a day now though I haven't quite got what I wanted as in these grey, dingy days I don't think I will. Happily I feel the absolute opposite about the actual garment, it's everything I dreamed it could be when I saw the inspiring version A Girl In Winter made in the Manos Silk Blend and this shade, evasive though it may be to the camera is so uplifting that it's been the perfect companion for dark, winter days. It's a warm, deep multi-toned red with a pinky blue base, a real treat for the eye. The shawl is big and grand, but cosy and homely all at once. A wonderful pairing of yarn and pattern. I didn't manage to get the...

Ooh la la...

Elle est fini :o) My little beret has finally made it over the finishing line. The peloton have long since disbanded so I can't claim any colour jersey for this but I loved being part of the knitalong so I'm really just pleased I wasn't months behind. Pattern: Verity Yarn: South West Trading Company Karaoke - Mermaid; just under two balls Needles: 4.5mm dpns and 40cm circular Started: 1 July 2008 Finished: 6 August 2008 What's that - you want to see a modelled shot? Well only on one condition - you have to give me your honest opinion as to whether I can rock this hat or not. I am not convinced and the 1TB is being no help - when I say I think it suits me he agrees, when I say I think it doesn't - well yep he agrees! So let's have a vote on it - my head will be adorned by Verity or not depending on the results of the poll [ETA - this is now a blogger poll at the top of my sidebar - happy voting] , and don't worry if you think I look a fool - there are a c...
