Knitting project

Leiny was so pleased with this Noro wool bolero I made for her last year, I loved working with the Noro wool, it was so soft, knitted up fast and the mystery was in the fact that I did not know what the colours would be like until it was knitted up.


Finding the time to knit in a quite spot was always a pleasure and knitting is such a peaceful and calming activity. Having knit for nearly forty years now, I can watch my favourite shows on television while knitting.

The colours are amazing and such a pleasure to knit with.

Big hugs,

Christmas table

Preparing the Christmas dinner table is always fun. I have been playing around with colours and ideas, but I still have not fully decided. Shades of red and green are always festive, but purples and gold or turquoise and silver are also nice. How do you plan to decorate yours?
