Copper Coloured Selbu Mittens
As promised here is my post on the Selbu mittens I knit in February and March and a photographic revisit of the snow, cold and freeze we had earlier this month. Right now at the end of the month it seems somewhat bizarre to think […]
Autumn Oregon Fair Isle Cardigan
Excited to show you this most woodland-y of allovers that I have been working on! These photos were taken on a chilly March day in that perfect transition of winter to spring. All trees are still barren but the promise of early leaf buds are […]
