2015 - Carpinus - Hainbuche

I shooted it from above, on a walk through
our park
Hainbuche - Carpinus - in winter - I added
some stars to greet you in 2015 -
and show you what I knitted these last days.
Do you remember? This was my cowl.
It was in November last year - which means 2013.
I did not wear it - it was too short to wrap it twice and
once around the neck it did not warm me - and for decoration
only - I did not need it.
So I spent an afternoon to unravel it. Complicated.
But I am patient.
And now look at my cap - a beret - a basque beret.
Just right for those cold days.

And now the slippers:
also good for cold days in a Swiss cabin (son and family) ---
you remember certainly:
My son's legs trying on the slippers.


What's going on in my studio?
From Monday January 5, I am in a class of Karen Ruane - Swathed in Cloth.
Oh, I am looking forward to this and I am sure I can show you this and that.

  1. love those stars not a clue how you did that. Lots of knitting going on and the unpicked neck warmer has made a lovely beret and the slippers look so cosy and warm

  2. The beauty with knitting is that you can unravel and knit something different - the ultimate recycling.
