These rainy, windy, wintery evenings have been quite productive for me. I’ve been sitting in front of the tv with a ball of wool and some knitting needles. It’s helped me immensely with my now non-existent insomnia. After looking between the tv and the wool all night my eyes get to a point where they can’t stay open and I fall into bed and snore my head off.
Remember that ball of sheep’s wool I posted about a while back? Well I turned it (and 2 more) into a nice warm scarf for Yasu! I finished it yesterday and last night he was walking around like a proud peacock wearing his new scarf. I’m really happy he likes it so much!
Now I’m on to a new project. Youtube is so wonderful. Today I have learnt how to knit one purl one just from watching the video’s online. I’m thinking of making us some mobile phone covers in a kind of rib stitch that is stretchy with some new purple wool I bought. That will keep me going for the rest of the week at least.
I’ll leave you with a photo of Yasu’s finished scarf in Arabian Spice.

Thanks Marianne. Yes, I hear everyone saying how hot it is in Japan and we are freezing our @sses off over here (I can’t remember it ever being *this* cold) and would trade places with you in a heartbeat!
