Cold weather is knitting weather. I’m making a cowl (my neck gets so cold) and the act of knitting also keeps my fingers warm. I’m making it up as I go and enjoying seeing how the colours change as I knit. It’s a small project that is satisfying.

I’ve taken advantage of the free 60-day trial offered by Creativebug to take a Heidi Parkes workshop – Story Quilt Top: A Daily Practice in Hand Stitching. This workshop introduces you to Heidi’s way of designing a quilt top as a personal memoir. There are also many other tempting classes there – you may like to check it out.
