Favourites on a Friday Afternoon...

1. monday, 2. far far away 2 strip quilt, 3. nine., 4. Duaflex, 5. 5, 6. Tour de Fleece, 7. what i look like when I knit, 8. Janeice's Retirement Gift close, 9. Untitled, 10. hotels with swimming pools

I'm really feeling the need for some sunshine today - thankfully there are cute people in the Northern Hemisphere that take photos for me to look longingly at whilst freezing my bum off inside my own house......

Fortunately, for we knitters, there is a solution at hand: more yarn, of course!



This here is Unspun Icelandic - supposedly the warmest wool ever, and I have acquired enough to knit myself a full length jumpsuit. Heh! Might need to dig out the 70's knitting patterns for that one!

No seriously - I'm thinking perhaps this:



It's the Plain & Simple Pullover - but I'm thinking mine will need long sleeves.......

I also caved to the pressure of the yarn gods last week and bought these:



It's Goldenrod Crab Spider from Sanguine Gryphon - merino cashmere nylon, and eye searingly bright - just how I like it. I already have a pair of socks knit in this colourway, so I'm contemplating a short-sleeved cardigan thing, or maybe a shawly-type number perhaps?

Of course, this is all conjecture - I have to get some of those damn grey projects off the needles first!

In other news - there is a Vintage Bike Restoration Project going on around here - the decision not to renew the rego on my old shitbox of a car has let me to embrace the bicycle revolution (revolution- ha) - and I've turned into a massive bike dork - more to come on that when I can get my arse in gear to take some pictures.

That's it for now - stay warm, friends......
