Happy Hogmanay

                                           

Happy New Year to you all, or hogmanay as they have up here. Our Christmas was a very good one then we had a few quiet days with new board games and bike rides. This year the munchkins sat up with us to see in the New Year and we played a new game which was very addicitive. It has been quite a gentle transition to reality for us as the munchkins are back at school and the house is back to the undecorated state. I miss the sparkly lights and decorations but then they wouldn't be so special if they were up all year round.

Things are very busy here now with new plans but more about that another time.

At the moment I have been knitting down some of my stash which has been fun sorting it all out but a bit shocking as there were things I had almost forgotten. Here are some pictures of the projects I have made since Christmas...
classic sea farer's hat made with locally produced wool

hand dyed 100% wool


fyberspates cumulus knitted up in old shale pattern (originating in Shetland)

                                                    Fyberspates Cumulus 912 Camel

As we have woken up to a snow covered vista I will be mostly curling up and knitting today...looks like JR got there first!
