For me, wintertime is not wintertime without knitting near the fireplace! I love the warmth of the wool, and nowadays you can find such gorgeous yarns, with a wonderful soft touch and in a huge range of colors, that it's impossible to resist! At this time being I am knitting a blue jacket using Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino yarn, and I just received a great wool from Rowan : Felted Tweed, of which I love the soft tune and touch. Most problably for another jacket...
Sharing today a "slow knitting" post at Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching as I do not have any quilting to show today.
I love your yarn very pretty - I can not wear wool, allergic to it but I sure love it
ReplyDeleteLoving the wool too! I knit two wraps for a Rowan wool. A friend gave it to me, it was her grandmother's. There was enough to make a wrap for each of us.
ReplyDeleteOoh such soft looking yarn. I too love knitting this time of the year.
ReplyDeleteHello Christine !! J'espère que tu as passé de bonnes fêtes de Noël en famille.
ReplyDeleteJ'espère que tu nous montreras ton pull terminé.

Beautiful yarn! I love to knit at this time of year too :)
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmh, que c'est beau!

Quel est le nom ou le numéro de cette belle couleur de rowan, svp??
Merci!

DeleteJe vous ai envoyé un mail.
Your yarn is beautiful. I dream of knitting by the fireplace, but alas I don't have one.
ReplyDeleteYour basket of yarn looks so soft and wonderful. Knitting by the fireplace sounds so relaxing.
ReplyDeleteThat yarn looks very inviting. I love knitting in the winter months.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect way to spend an afternoon!
ReplyDeleteQue des jolies couleurs !! j'aime beaucoup ce petit chiné ; Bon tricot car comme tu dis par ce temps c'est l'occupation idéale ♥
ReplyDeleteIt looks so inviting and cozy Christine! I wish I could come and sit with you - you could knit and i could cross-stitch.
ReplyDeleteI was wearing a pair of gloves today that I knitted in Rowan Felted Tweed a few years ago now - it certainly wears well! I love the little flecks of colour and it's so warm too. I think you're right, knitting by a winter fire just has to be done and you've inspired me to find something to knit; it's been a while! Happy New Year Christine!
