Knitting

so the knitting bug continues

 and I find myself most evenings

curled up by the fire with my yarn and needles

maybe once the summer returns I will drift back to my needles and thread

I ve finally taken the big leap and started my first sweater 

in a lot of years

I ve chosen to go with 

Truly Myrtle's Gingerbread sweater

it's really quite a simple but elegant design 

and just perfect for my first top down sweater.

the yarn is Nyx from Outlaw yarns

and comes from across the pond

New Zealand 

and is a

Polwarth, silk mix

it's a very soft pink

 tonight I discovered the joy of 

tassel making

I have just finished knitting a shawl

(which I will show you next time) 

and needed to make a tassel to complete it

Truly Myrtle has a great tutorial

I got so into the swing of it, I even made one for my super cute 

little sheep scissors

I love learning new things

starting new projects

and creating with my hands

I hope your hands are working on a project that you love

catch you later
