Anyone for sushi?

Dedicated to Simona who, despite the high bar stools, never says no to a sushi........

But she'd have trouble eating these, note the chopsticks......yes, they are knitted!!!!

Plenty of WOOL and WALKING in the Apennines this Sunday.
RE the former, finally sewed in all the ends and found suitable buttons for my Debbie Bliss folk chic fairisle jacket.
Killer obviously likes it too...


RE:the latter, annual walk from Traversetolo uphill to Svizzzano.

A rare occasion of Victor bringing up the rear



The church, where we know from experience there is a bench in a sunny spot, perfect for halfway pizza.








Looking back homewards..

That's neat, that's neat I really love my tiger feet...

I fell in love with this tiger yarn the moment I saw it, it immediatly brought to mind a song from my youth, just LISTEN TO THE CHOROUS and your toes will soon be tapping too. BIG THANKS to Laura who spoiled me by sending it all the way from America a while back. At first I could just not get the stripes to work out but this time they just flew off the needle and I got them done in two days.

Christmas Dreams

A little girl's Christmas dream come true. Christmas meal with BOTH her grandmas.

Whilst a bigger girl is pleased with time to tackle some orignal, lengthways knitted socks in amazing coloured yarn.

Christmas ecstasy

Who's enjoying this most! Me or Lessie?

Spiralling Diamond socks designed byKaren Wessel in Regia Christmas sock yarn. The Photo does not do justice to the cream and sparkling gold Lurex yarn.

A British cuppa

My Italian friends are always a bit disappointed that I don't drink tea. So this afternoon I gave them the works, complete with new tea pot and lemon slice squeezer. Not to mention THe Royal tea Cosy.







Patty and Lorenza trying it out....

Tweed jacket by Debbie Bliss

By me really. Naturally the pcture doesn't do justice to the tweedy wool, waisted darted fit and tartan jaquard patch pockets and elbow patches.

A slight doubt - too many buttons?

I was aiming for a quirky Vivien Westwood look, not a clown!
