We went on a trip away to a West Coast surfing beach. It was my first time to the Taranaki region – what a beautiful part of the world, with small towns clustered around the sentinel-mountain. The first photo above was taken just as the sun was setting. There was a field of cows behind us and in front, a crumbly cliff with the sea stretching out towards Australia.
The trip allowed me quite a bit of knitting time. I'm making a scarf for Tom, from (local!) possum/merino yarn in a dark blue-grey. The possum fur gives the yarn an almost silvery halo and it's very soft.
The lightweight, warm fabric created by this yarn is so lovely I don't even mind that this scarf is really rather boring to knit…
