| Lovely snow :) |
... and it is beautiful; I like the squarish size and the pretty colours down the side which correspond to the different sections: Reds and oranges are 'Hats and Caps', 'Mitts, Gloves and Cuffs' and 'Socks', blues are 'Scarves and Neck Warmers', 'Shawls' and 'Shimmy and Shrug', greens offer 'Small Wonders' and 'Clothes for Dolls', while pinks and purples show 'Bags and Purses', 'Decorative Wearables' and '(Not) Just for the Home'. There's also an interesting (cream and browns) section about the designers.
I'm most drawn to the fingerless mittens patterns at the minute, of which there are 6 designs to chose from (as well as a selection of full gloves and mittens).
I know that my sister has knit me a very special pair of fingerless mittens and Fair Isle socks for Christmas and I can't wait to see them... I hope the snow clears so I'm able to fly home.
... a snowy scene by my house for sooc (straight out of the camera) Sunday over on Jan's blog ~ Murrieta 365 if you'd like to join in :)
More snow!? Hope you get home.
ReplyDeleteI like your photo of it snowing at night; it makes me want a cup of hot chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI need to check out this sock yarn book. I love sock yarn, but I don't like making socks, so I'm always looking for other things to make with it.
Such marvelously beautiful shots of snow! I like the book too! :)
ReplyDeleteA fairyland snowy world! Beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteWe've got snow too!
ReplyDeleteStay warm, as you click away. Thanks for joining in.
ReplyDeleteThe snow is very pretty! I can see why you are looking forward to your new socks and mittens. :))
ReplyDeleteMy boys have been using the bundles of yarn that I bought for them today, to weave with {something that my oldest just learned at school a few weeks ago}. We found some that is very large and plump and SOooooo soft.
ReplyDeleteYour winter scene looks so much like my own surroundings....absolutely beautiful, and chilly :)
