I've finished my journalism course for the year, so I don't have to make the early-morning walk into the city for a month or so. I spent this morning doing some pretty dull household tasks, but the truth is it feels amazing to be thinking about Christmas, summer, holidays, etc. 

It was so warm and sunny yesterday, I sewed this very simple stripy skirt. I had about a metre of stretch cotton in a grey and pink stripe, so I cut a bit from the side, sewed up a rectangle, hemmed it then added two rows of narrow elastic to the top. Pretty simple and should be comfy to wear too.

I have grand plans of making a dress or two before Christmas, but I might be dreaming.

I hope you are well- enjoy your weekend.

    In this part of the world, Spain, is very much winter, so I find it difficult to think about Christmas and summer at the same time… It must be very especial.
    Enjoy your holidays!!!

    Your journalism course sounds really interesting Melissa – would love to hear more about it. It sounds really strange for it to be warm at Christmas when it is so cold over here in England. I am hoping to finish some curtains for Christmas – we shall see 🙂
    Happy Christmas

    Hi Melissa, would just like to say I am using your simple fingerless glove pattern to make some quick last minute presents for friends. They are turning out very well. I’m using two strands of DK wool instead of Aran weight and no 4 needles. And agree with Jacqui above that it is very cold here (in Lincolnshire). So hope you are enjoying your lovely warm days.
    Also wishing you a happy Christmas.
    Thanks, Emma
