I have a second passion: I collect seaglass and make silver jewellery with it (which, incidentally, you can find here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

But the fingers get a little chilly when you’re hunting through the briny waves in the winter.<\/p>\n

So: I give you Seaglass Mittens. Decorated with waves and sparkles, with tops to keep the fingers warm, which flip back when you’ve spotted something special in the sand.<\/p>\n

They are long enough to keep the wrists warm under jumper and coat sleeves, too. I do like to keep my wrists warm.<\/p>\n

In other news, having fallen out of the woolly groove towards the end of the year, I set myself a challenge: a jumper between Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. I had something very specific in mind. Something in chunky cream wool, with a wide roll neck, and a boxy shape. Not too long so I could wear it with my favourite denim mini skirt.<\/p>\n

Here it is:<\/p>\n

This last summer, when my gorgeous gaggle of boys, my husband and I went hiking on Mull and visited the Isle of Iona, I picked up some beautiful yarn.<\/p>\n

I’m combining it with a grey Cascade and have just the sleeves left to knit:<\/p>\n

So with a little luck, I’ll have more to show you very soon.<\/p>\n
