it's so peaceful here today with kids at school, the little guy happily playing with lego, no builders about, just quiet...
I should be grocery shopping, or at least preparing something for dinner, but I find myself sitting here, enjoying the silence and working on a few new things...
a cowl in the most lush green, and it's acrylic, I never knew acrylic yarn could feel so soft and delicious! I found another lovely yarn in our local haberdashery that I am going to use to make one of these for my mum, I think she'll love it, but ssshhh, she's on her way down to stay a night or two, I'm so looking forward to it YAY!
I also finished another of these waffle scarves, this time in the prettiest icey blue bamboo, my camera isn't doing either of these pictures justice, the colours are quite something.  I really love working with this bamboo, it feels so weighty and beautiful...

what's happening at your place today?

  1. Really, it should have been a mum who coined the phrase 'Silence is Golden'. You have crafted up some gorgeously snuggly scrunchability.
