It is with almost palpable relief that I embrace the cold temperatures we are finally having…
Curiously, without them, January just feels wrong.
So I welcome the chill and celebrate with a new chapeau!
This is my personal Elisbeth Cap that I’ve been knitting in the evenings.
Am still having a love affair with black yarn, even though it’s finicky
and hard to photograph.
Pourquoi? Because, imho, it rocks a cable like almost nothing else…
This is going very fast, although I had a panic attack last night, thinking I was going to run out of yarn before this got to its slouchy finish.
I ended up un-doing the ball of yarn, measuring it via a very loose *arm’s length to sternum* way (about 39″) and think I just might squeeze it out…
Vrrooooom….
I too love black cables, but my (too) soon to be elderly eyes, do not agree! I just finished a simple black, cabled cowl that took twice as long as it should have……..
Lovely! I’ve been contemplating a hat to go with my orange coat – solid black may be the way to go! And I agree, it isn’t January without the face numbing cold.
Hi Bonne,
Love your knitting!!! Knitting is very catching isn’t it!
I’ll be sure to drop by again. Have a great day.
Regards, Anita.
What yarn are you using? Just bought the pattern…so here’s hoping I actually get in gear and start knitting!
