January 2015

New year, same me. Here's what happened in January, hold onto your hats.

Worked on my arching theme project, my Leaf Stole by Annie Rowden, started in July last year and it's comforting to pull out once in awhile and just admire the luxury yarn I splashed out for. Might as well make it last. It's not weird to stroke your wool. Ok maybe it is, well call me weird then (one of the nicer things I've been called).

I finished Expanding CommuKnitty socks by Megan William. It's hard to pinpoint what exactly isn't floating my boat about these socks. Perhaps the colour pooling that I was trying to avoid when picking this pattern. Or I simply have realized that I... don't ...like... green.. gasp! I know, it felt wrong saying it. Very controversial opinion. Alas, they are done, they fit. Someone else has claimed them as their own. Moving on.

In the meantime, I have cast on some socks that are bringing me much joy. In a lighthearted blue colourway called Ethereal...sigh.. from Northbound Knitting...sigh again. And the pattern is just as delightful to look at and to knit. I fully expect to trot around town with these adorning my feet to the adoration of my fellow townspeople. To that end, I give you Hedera by Cookie A.

This month I sewed four bags, or rather Baggy Pouch by the darling Aneela Hooey, who melts my heart with everything she does ♡

That's it - Happy crafting! Nic ♥
