I cannot believe it has been two weeks since my last post...I guess these winter days have everyone in my house, including me, in a funk. You might notice a theme as you look through these photos......are we lazy?? The answer I think, must be no, I guess everyone in my house just knows the value of a good nap now and then. I can never put the sheets on the floor on laundry day before bringing them down to the basement or little Dudley will set himself up for a long nap in them.
A typical lazy scene in the living room.
Simiilar scene except for the fact that everyone has migrated to the dining room, not by choice either, this photo means that I'm currently busy vacuuming the living room carpet and needed to move the dog beg (dogs and all) so I could clean around the spot this bed usually occupies.
While I have felt the urge to curl up on the dog bed and sleep away the rest of winter, I have resisted the desire and instead have been having a lot of fun getting started in knitting. My first two projects were a baby blue scarf and matching fingerless gloves. I've got more to come and I'll keep you posted. Knitting, as I'm finding out, is quite an addictive hobby.
I've been doing a lot of knitting lately....learning new stitches and designs. A great way to learn and a way that has been a lot of fun for me, has been trying different scarf patterns. I particularly love lace designs ......not only am I learning while enjoying myself but I'm doing something to cheer up the worst months of the year for me...winter. Making lots of fun accessories to wear with my winter coats has really brightened up my season quite a bit.
I just finished this beautiful multi-colored purple scarf that goes great with the new lavendar colored fleece jacket I just bought. I fell in love with this yarn the minute I saw/felt it. This lovely chanille was such a pleasure to knit with and it is so soft and inviting. I loved it so much that I recently picked up another chanille yarn that I'm working with now.
I also couldn't resist picking up some of this attractive, thin, multi-colored rayon yarn to make a decorative scarf with. I've got two projects going at the moment and so I've been dividing my leasure time between the two as I feel like it. I've got my eye on a beginners sweater that I would like to start on really soon. We'll see what happens with that one and what kind of yarn I decide on for my new cardigan sweater.
