Is for reveling in winter!
Yes, we have snow! Yes, it is cold! (although this morning’s 31°F felt downright balmy!!)
I cannot tell you the last time we here had snow that stayed on the ground for more than a day or two! It is simply delightful.
Winter might be even more delightful because I finished one Marled Sequence Scarf over the weekend! And, to be entirely honest with you, I was more than a bit sad to bind off that last stitch! This was truly knitting perfection… the colors pair with simple knits and purls. Glamor shots coming!
But… I had also signed up for Patty Lyons Beginnings and Endings Class last Friday. I got through one part, with two more to go but can I just say… Patty Lyons is a treasure! I could sit and just listen to her talk for hours! She has encyclopedic knitting knowledge! Anyways, I also swatched over the weekend and cast on a couple of times… with “meh” results. But once I deployed Patty’s first cast on… with rousing success… I knew I found my new knit project to see me through this month!
So, my dearest Mother Nature, when you bring the drop in temperatures later today with those “need all the layers” teens, I will have lots to keep me occupied inside where it is cosy and warm! And, I will have a freshly washed scarf to keep me warm!
Happy Monday Everyone!
Congratulations on finishing your scarf! I’m anxious to see it and I hope it’s keeping you warm and happy. It’s got to be rewarding to see such good results from the first part of Patty Lyons’ class and I’m sure you’ll be learning more useful stuff.
Can’t wait to see your marled scarf!! I just love the colors that are in it. Glad you enjoyed Patty Lyons’ class…I had thought/was tempted to sign up, but then I did not. I also missed the Zoom with Arne & Carlos. I need/want to find the time to listen to that. Hope your week is wonderful Kat.
congrats on finishing a scarf! I am so far loving January. Both my knitting and reading has been entertaining and joyful.
I am loving winter too, though we barely got snow. However, we did get some and I’ll take it!
I met Patty Lyons once, through a friend, and she seemed very lovely. I wish I’d known about the class, I might have signed up. In any case, I can’t wait to see your project!
Can’t wait to see the scarf! I was just out for a short walk and it was nice that it was just a little warmer and the sun was out. I don’t mind the snow so much as long as the sidewalks and roads are clear!
I’m glad someone is reveling in winter because it ain’t me. LOL
Yay for finishing up your scarf – I can’t wait to see it!
And I’m so glad you’re still enjoying the winter weather. I am too!
I look forward to seeing the Marled Scarf. I love a good peaceful meditative knit – especially these days. Snow on the ground is lovely too. We are also in for a temperature drop over the weekend. We are so lucky to have these leisure time activities to keep us company.
