Good morning!<\/p>\n
Monday.<\/p>\n
Awfully windy out there, up here in the North-East. Today is a day for ALL the knits. And there’s very little that brings me more gentle pleasure than knowing that the majority of what I’m wearing was fashioned with my own fingers.<\/p>\n
Today, it’ll be boot socks, sweater, hat, mittens, cowl… The works.<\/p>\n
And I’ve found myself thinking… it might be time to knit a skirt? Does that work? Any experiences you’ve had with successes or failures would be greatly appreciated. Will you spur me on to try it? Or will you tell me I’m a madwoman for even thinking of it? I can’t decide if it’d be a neat thing to have, or end up looking like a baggy nappy (or diaper for our friends across the Pond)…<\/p>\n
Anyway, enough ramblings and to the point of being here today (I haven’t had my coffee yet, and last night was not the greatest in terms of unbroken sleep, so forgive me if I seem to meander into side-roads with little regard for having lost my way). If you follow me on Instagram<\/a> or Facebook<\/a>, you’ll know I’ve recently come up with a new sock pattern, which I have now created both in Drops Nord yarn, and in Fondant Fibre glittery sock yarn. I’m littering this post with pictures so you can see how they came out, and if you fancy giving them a go yourself, you can find the pattern over here.<\/a> Or from Yarn Canada here<\/a>.<\/p>\n So feast yer eyes on the lacy creations.<\/p>\n\n Now.<\/p>\n Kids at school.<\/p>\n Coffee and time to finish writing up my Stashbusting Hats (which most definitely need a new name).<\/p>\n Have a glorious week. Once you’ve got over the fact that Monday has rolled around way too fast.<\/p>\n <3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Good morning! Monday.
