Ha! Try and lose this one, buster!

Cian lost his scarf, so I whipped up one he won't be able to shake (well, not too easily...)



Here we're testing it in the elements - sledding a week ago. Please note the thrum mittens - thanks Granny Tish!!!


The Irishman tried his hand as well...

Airborne

Also, Ciara (who's decided her new favourite colour is orange - and not in a subtle way) needed a new hat. I know it's a bit difficult to pick out in the picture, but see if you can spot it.

We'll have to start featuring Ciara and her hat in a new Where's Waldo series, eh?

Beautimous

Just finished one sock for Irishman, the Big-footed Wonder. Unforunately, I don't think I can have the mate finished before he leaves on Sunday ( at 6 am!!) for his big adventure in Boston (dude planned a "business trip" for Boston so that it coincided with St. Patrick's Day - my imagination is going crazy here). I just hope I get him back in one piece ;)

I used the pattern from Nancy Bush's new book Knitting Vintage Socks and adapted my own hard-wearing heel and toe. The poor guy has lost 2 socks this year and I'm hoping to avoid further decisions like the one I am currently facing with the VERY first socks that came of my newbie needles: darn-it or damn-it??

Any voices of experience out there to guide me gently into the toe-repair lane??

Hope?

Found this today - made my mood a little bit better :)

Beastmaster

Okay, here's the beast - finally blocked and dry!


Pattern: Country Meetings from The Aran Look (an old yellowed pamphlet from Patons of unknown date, but cost 75 cents in its day)
Yarn : Rustikal Hauswolle
