It's getting cooler here which means knitting time. I'm here to tell you there's nothing nicer than sitting on the sofa watching this (or something similar) with glass of wine and knitting close by. Although you probably knew that already.

Here are a few small knits I've been working on lately. One Jane (ravelry link) hat in some pale rose-coloured Jo Sharp silk/alpaca yarn, in progress.

One ear-warmer because Wellington wind is crazy and I walk everywhere, so I'm hoping this will greatly improve my winter this year. It's a twisted rib stitch pattern, the same as that in the 'Jane' hat, knitted up in grey possum-merino. Only took one evening.

And lastly, a new winter hat for Arlo to wear on his walk to school (to match his school uniform, even!) For the pattern, I combined the Flat Hat (great free pattern from Tash at Holland Road) with this one by Tin Can Knits, knit in the round with beautiful Zealandia possum-merino.

Happy Easter weekend to you! Hope you find some time to drink wine, knit, do what you love.

    Was trying to work out how the ear warmer worked till I realised it must be a band. Doh!
