on the first cold of the season

recovering from a bad cold, doing some 'selfish' knitting.
will I ever finish the socks? this pattern require a lot of concentration.
The weather is unusually warm for this time of the year in this part 
of the world, however, last winter was so cold and long that I'm getting 
ready knitting a very warm pullover and long socks.

Very interesting point of view of the designer Margaret Howell

How rotten to have a cold already. I hope your feeling better soon. Looks so cosy there with all that lovely wool :)

*Selfish* (I agree with wsake, no such thing!) knitting, the perfect way to rest from a cold, I think :) I am sorry you are feeling bad, I wish you a speedy recovery!

alessandra said...

Thank you all for your wishes!
Wsake and Elizabeth, selfish because it's all about me me me...never for my husband! ;)
the recovery is less speedy than I wished, but hey, more knitting done then xx

Are you feeling better yet? Your pictures make me want to start knitting. But it's still 30 degrees around here. I would have to do it at night :)
