Socks!
I am eternally grateful to my Mum who knitted me some socks for my recent birthday. The temperature dropped to 0 degrees today in Scotland, and these came in most handy, as did my two jumpers, fleece lined leggings, woolly slippers and cashmere gloves. Oh, and I stayed indoors all day.
Brrrrrrrr.

Scarf knitting
Spent my Saturday knitting, I had forgotten how easy it was to pass time with.
It was a super simple scarf to do, using moss stitch (knit one, purl one). I used 1 hank of gorgeous Colinette Giotto wool (rayon/cotton mix), using 8mm needles. It's supposed to be 21 stitches wide but I lost a bit of tension occasionally which made it a little wobbly. Seems to blend in with the textured wool though. I didn't bother with tassles or anything but I'm considering sewing the two ends together to make a snood...?
Probably the last Saturday of this year with enough free time to do the whole thing, but I am offering my services to friends if they want a simple Winter scarf, free of charge (except paying for the hanks - £6.95 for one Giotto hank).
Love x
