Winter 1

Winter 2

This was our sky today – just before the sun set. Beautiful greys and blues. Winter is here now: this morning those dark hills were covered in snow but it melted during the day.

Last week I finished two knitting projects: a winter hat for Tom and another for his brother. Now I've cast on another for a third brother, and Arlo has also requested one. I hope they don't find it too cheesy to have matching handknitted hats, like a team.

Pattern is this one by Stephen West – it's a great design – easy to knit but interesting, too. More details about the yarn, etc on my fledgling Ravelry page here.

I hope you're keeping warm with tea and some sort of cosy project close to hand.

    I’m living in the hat, Melissa. It’s a beauty. And I’m looking forward to forming a wooly hat cabal with the brothers next time we visit.

    I love that pattern, too….have only knit it twice, though. 🙂 I need more guys to knit for I guess; they would all get one!
