Weather, wool and warmers

Well, it looks like we have just completely bypassed autumn and gone from the end of summer to miserable beginings of winter. I was hoping to blog about this (photo from last week)...



The beautiful harvest weather, the warm afternoons, the gold light.... instead I am bloggin about this (photo from this morning)...



Flippin' cold, blue, icy light with rain, wind and chance of snow. What went wrong?

Oh yes, and on the subject of 'what went wrong'... do you remember my lovely urban aran, which I finished while I was pregnant? I excitedly got it out to see how it would stand up to the chilly winds...


Uh huh... this is urban aran, finished in all it's painstaking glory .... on my husband!!! (sorry Mr pjs, I couldn't resist your 'I'm unimpressed' pose) Clearly I'ma knitting idiot...it drowns me and I look completely rediculous in it. So in the end it's a good thing that i knitted it in a colour that suits my hubby cause it looks great on him and at least one of us has a cosy jumper.

My little sister growed up and left home to go to uni this year, she was away for one week when the weather changed and she realised she hadn't taken her warm clothes.... so I made her a little 'so-you-live-on-your-own-keep-warm' present... a neck warmer. Hope she will like it.

That is hilarious! He does look less than amused, but the sweater is cool! Big, but cool! HA HA HA!

Keep that little wee one warm!

ps. It's our third day of getting snow here in Minnesota.

Great sweater! And yes, hilarious!

We've had some snow too, on the mountains, but mostly it's raining...tried to dig up the potatoes today, but it was awfully wet, so I went back inside. And then it started raining again...

How's the little princess doing??? Do you get any sleep?
