Oh, hello, winter. I see there's none of this waiting-till-June bizzo in the Highlands. Here you are, suddenly and in full swing. And I'm not ready. What's that saying? "The days are long but the years are short"? Or is it "the days are short but the list of things to knit is bloody enormous..." We need hats and slippers and scarves and mittens. Leg-warmers. Arm-warmers. Toe-warmers.
Yesterday, when the chill hit, we managed to locate last year's hats at the back of the drawer. Remember this one and this one? They still fit, sort of. I wish that gorgeous thrifted red cardigan fit. Stella spent the day unable to lift her arms, but I shoved her into it anyway. Any chance to put a kid of mine in red.
I'm off to defrost my toes and get to work. Clickety-click.
Oh they are too cute! I just love those beanies. Stay warm! xx
ReplyDeleteI love when you can stretch another season out of woollens :)
ReplyDeleteI've been quite productive on the sticks this year and have churned out a few items now but like you my list of to-knits are never ending.
Love your girls bonnets.

Absolutely adorable! I crocheted my littlest a red bonnet last month, he looks lovely in it! I'm up on the Sunshine Coast and it is bloody freezing tonight...certainly snuck up quick!
ReplyDeleteI love that last photo, how gorgeous!!x
ReplyDeleteWe skipped winter in the Northern Hemisphere this year, so I will enjoy the winter-wear vicariously!
ReplyDeletethanks for lovely comment, pleased to meet you and your blog.....oh my goodness, i had a hat like that when i was little and last year i actually found the knitting pattern it came from...my mum was a brilliant knitter...its soooo old. your girls look really beautiful. its made me really smile at the end of a very long wet day here in england!!
ReplyDeleteme again.....just seen you a big fan of jamie....as this is his home town we often see him with junior olivers shopping....he really is a nice guy!
ReplyDeleteOh they are too cute! Drooling over your sort of greek soup too, will put that on my mmmm list of things to try.
ReplyDeleteThose girls are SO divine. And can you just start a shop already so us poor non-knitting, jealous types can get our hands on some of your amazing wares too? Kellie xx
ReplyDeleteOh those beanies and your models are so cute!! I really wish i could knit something other than a scarf for the girls!! I don't know i would have a hope of them keeping a beanie on though!First time with the heater on this morning...but we won't get cold like you do i bet!
ReplyDeleteClickety clack, indeed! Right now, we're enjoying low 70's in the evenings, and I wish it would drop. I think I'll take cold over hot any day.
ReplyDeleteadorable!!! love all the handknits! enjoy the cool weather---we're sweltering already.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE those hats, and wouldn't mind that red cardi in a grown up size :-) x

ReplyDeletebig YES to the small ones in red, makes me happy. and I love the pattern for the hat, though i don't think i'm accomplished enough yet!
ReplyDeleteThey look so sweet in those hats! My girls all wore that same embrodiered denium dress. It's one of my favorites.
