Baby it's even colder outside..

Damn! It is really cold here right now! Since we are right next to the see, we don't get a lot of freezing temps up here. But for the past week the temp hasn't been higher than minus 2 degrees.. Celsius that is.

Lots of people are enjoying the skating on the ponds, canals and rivers. I enjoy wearing my knits and sitting on the couch knitting with the heater set on high :)

SO....... My Spring coat is done. Yes the one that was too big and needed to be redone, it is done! YAY! Do a little pompom dance..

It is a pattern from the fab Kim Hargreaves. It is called winter and it is from the Cherished collection. And I used the yarn given for the pattern for once. What? You actually managed to make something completely like the pattern says? No mods whatsoever? Impossible!
Yes, I actually followed instructions this time :)
I used Rowan Felted tweed Chunky in the color Clay. Pretty, pretty yarn to work with. Love it!

I will try to get better pics soon, cos this are just... drab....
Maybe a nice woodland scenery picture? Or at the beach in the wind? Or on the square of my pretty home town? All the possibilities!

Dreams

I'm posting this picture here because I am wearing my fairylights hat in this picture. 

But I love this picture because mom took it when we had a windswept walk along the coast last week. I was staring out at sea and dreaming. 

Dreaming of long lost places and far fetched lives. 

High mountains and deep seas. 

The wind sweeping it all away and rebuilding again. 

Huge adventures and silent retreats. 

I dream of Scotland, a Scotland that probably isn't there but maybe once was. 

I dream of me in other times, being persons I can't be in this life. 

Caring, nurturing, loving, creating. 

This is what is inspiring me right now. Highland mountains and the wind in my hair. Simpler lives. 

This picture breathes those thoughts to me. 

Mom saw it and snapped the moment up in an image.

More to come soon!

I have been working really hard:

1. Making, and writing out a new pattern for you all! A freebee no less! Get your jamiesons out and wait just a weebit more while it is being test knitted for me.
2. A huge coat in the most gorge, luxe Rowan yarn ever. I finished it yesterday, cos tomorrow I will have a photo shoot in it. And it is too big! I cried myself to sleep last night, and frogged the whole thing this morning. Now it is a HUGE ball of yarn and yet another weeks worth of work of look forward to... pfffff.... But it will be GORGEOUS when finished. That really makes up for all the work. And working on it is pleasant, so no harm done there. What will you do for the photo shoot? I hear you think; well...
I have no idea... haven't been able to reach the photographer yet... Will have to postpone for another two weeks. And he if really wants something tomorrow he can shot the huge ball of yarn and some other projects that will have the same feel :)

See ya soon!
