So far Winter has been quite mild here, with only one hour long snow storm and a handful of days with frosty beginnings. Even so, it's been cool enough to warrant regular lighting of the fire and I've been keeping my pattern writing hands warm with new wristies (yarn and pattern details in the previous post). There's also been enough of the mini skeins left to make a bunny cardigan and a teeny tiny bunny dress.
The lack of light is getting wearisome though. Some days it has hardly felt like we've had a proper daytime and more like we've gone straight from a dim dawn to a drab dusk. I really don't envy anyone living further north. We've been compensating with some well-placed LED lights, one string in a strip on the wall, brightening a dark corner...
and a little set of battery powered ones sitting on the table and lighting up our mealtimes...
Happily this afternoon we've had a brief shaft of weak sunlight coming in through the side window, a welcome reminder that the days are starting to lengthen out and we're on our way back to long, bright summer days. I don't know about you but I'm really looking forward to some warm sun on my skin.
Cosy (part 2) will be about my second misty blanket which is now finished but it's huge and is proving a bit difficult to photograph, especially on these dingy days. I hope to pop back with some pictures of it soon. Til then, keep warm and catch those rays when you can x
