I went for a walk today and everything I saw was grey, wind was blowing and dropping the snow from the trees and making my face red. The canal was frozen and there were some footprints on the ice, but I decided to stay on the shore. Also my camera refused to work because it was so "cold" (-1 celsius). I got some nice photos, although they all seem so grey. I felt kind of gloomy myself too...
Today's saviour was skijumping on TV. I'm not a big fan of competitive sports, but t
Next in line I have one pair of red fingerless mittens (special wish) and then I'll try to make a top for the first time (I've never tried knitting with circular needles before!). I already bought the yarn (Noro Cash Iroha in purple) and it's just waiting for me and my needles. As you may notice, I'm really in love with Noro yarns, just because of the colours! It's really hard to find colourful yarns from here, maybe most of the knitters prefer black, brown, beige or pastel colours. Because pound is so cheap at the moment, I've ordered some yarns from England and I got very good service and quick delivery from Stash Fine Yarns. Big recommendations!

ReplyDeleteNorppa, suosittelen :) Puijon kisoissa on ihan paras tunnelma, varsinkin jos sattuu olemaan tosi kylmä! Ja testaa makkaraa myös ;)
ReplyDeletePink Panthere, I think it's very skillful if you can make a sweater :) I hated all needleworks when I was younger, but these days they are the best way to spend my sometimes empty days.
Monika, I saw some photos in Facebook, it looked like you really had a nice time! I wish I'd have been there too. But see you on Wednesday and have a nice photography class tomorrow :)
