one :: the countdown begins

Last year I had the crazy idea of blogging every day up until Christmas. I started it completely on a whim, and ended up enjoying every moment. This morning I read Gina's post and then Caireen's, so here I am again.... I'm not promising lots of words, (I am feeling a little quiet at the moment) but I can surely manage at least a photo every day. Bring it on!

The low winter sun streamed through the windows for a brief time this afternoon, warming everything in its path. This little fabric bucket is part of my lovely gift from Arounna, and the wool (discontinued sublime organic merino) is a beautiful mid-grey, which I'm using for Idlewood.

 Tracy has joined in too. How about you?

Where do you find these lovely patterns...I never seem to find what I am looking for on Ravelry...another snow day...fire, knitting and a little school work to ease the guilt...

I daren't even look on Ravelry at the moment! As usual, the plans I've been making all year for handmade gifts are still just plans! Best get a wriggle on...
Loving that yarn - Sublime is my favourite of the moment.

Lovely idea to post each day but without my camera I think I'll pass on it this year though will enjoy seeing what you come up with each day. That fabric bucket is great and the yarn sublime - the pattern too looks so cosy. Hope to see the finished article in due course.

Glad I'm not the only crazy one! That yarn is gorgeous.

Hmmm don't think I'll have the time or energy!! And there's so little light to take good photos...
The wool looks scrumptious!

I've just dropped in to say hello, I've joined Gina's challenge too! I love wool and the pattern is gorgeous, looking forward to seeing the finished item.

Hello Diana,
This seems as good a time as any to introduce myself and thank you for the lovely posts.

And tho' the challenge seems...well, challenging...I have seem to have made a quiet commitment to it as I read your words. If I manage a post tonight when I get home, I shall continue on.

Happy December to you,

Lesley
