It has been a cool and rainy day here in Cape Town and I'm settling down to put this post together after a long lunch with some of our favourite friends and a few too many glasses of wine. The dishes have been washed, the house is tidy and I am sitting on the sofa under a blanket feeling very relaxed, but also very lazy and can't really think of a whole lot to say about knitting, other than as much as I love hand knitted blankets, scarves and so on, I am far too impatient to ever take it up myself, so I will have to content myself by admiring other people's beautiful handiwork. (Whew....that was a really long sentence! Clearly wine doesn't improve my prose.)
Wishing you all a lovely week. We go away on holiday on Friday so the "L" post might only happen when we get back. I'm nearly half-way with my alphabet and haven't yet run out of ideas, but I'm sure that the Q, X, Y and Z are going to be tricky. If you have any fabulous ideas, send them my way please.
Till next time

Oh so cozy! Love all of the colors you found, and the big chunky neutrals, too! I think I need one of those super large-ply throws!
ReplyDeleteI love those baby shoes...so cute...I wish I could knit!
ReplyDeleteSharon,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a fun Sunday! Wouldn't it be great to be able to knit your own throw for the sofa and bed? I know how to do basic knitting but it's not something I love to do. Great post.
xo,
Karen
Sharon,
ReplyDeleteI have a lovely picture of you in my mind, curled up in the chair and chilled out. Sounds like you had a lovely day. I love all the chunky knitted throws too, but I am not too good at knitting, I tend to loose concentration and drop or add stitches. Ah well, I can drool over your lovely pictures and imagine.Good luck with the rest of the alphabet, perhaps x could be part of an equation? Love Linda x
Oooh, these pictures are just divine! I am feeling more relaxed by the second! Having a lovely browse of your blog - it's absolutely beautiful. Will be signing up to follow by email, and Pinterest - am aware that I am sounding like a stalker!! ;-)

I started knitting again for the first time since years ago when my Grandmama taught me. I don't remember it being so relaxing! Of course, I was a young girl when I learned and relaxing wasn't in my vocabulary ;)
ReplyDeleteSharon, thank you for your comments on my blog, so glad you were inspired to get painting. Good luck with it. Love, Linda x

I have so much catching up to do! I wish I could knit. I just don't have the patience for it!
ReplyDeleteI love that big chunky throw. You could probably knit that without a needle! LOL!
