Guess what? It’s cold

Happy New Year! I don’t know why we seem so surprised considering how much snow there is on the ground but it’s freezing and every morning I look out the window to be met with the sight of more snow in the garden. Edinburgh has never looked so beautiful but I AM BALTIC!! The only thing for it is to knit, knit ,and knit some more.

As Jessie from the Fast Show would say ‘Today I am mostly working on’ . . . finishing the pattern for a shrug  and swatching for what should hopefully be a very pretty childs cardi, both for upcoming issues of The Knitter, sketching some design ideas for another magazine and catching up on emails oh yes and throwing another smokeless fuel bricquette on the fire. Carry on!

Summer. . .what Summer?

Well what laughingly passed for Summer in Scotland is over and it’s back to short dark days and cold rain. On the up side that means it’s proper knitting weather! Not much consolation I’m sure but I’ve just added lots more bargains to the duppdupp store on Ebay, have a look at them here.
