winter on the mountain

winter has been here for a while but we finally had some time to get up to play in the snow. Even Gerry seemed to enjoy it. I had a few turns sliding down the small hills. The children had lots of fun and we even found an igloo someone had made. The weather was one of the best I have ever been on the mountain, for winter that is.

tour de fleece

As you can see the weather here has been a little cold over the last week. So it has been perfect weather for the tour de fleece. I have been busy trying to spin as much of my fleece srash as possible so this is what I have done so far.

This one was 828 m long.

a little bit of my socks

Here are a few photos of the socks I have been working on lately. The rainbow socks are for my daughter. The ones below are called glass slipper and were made for a sock swap I was in on ravelry.

trial

I thought I would try and see if I am able to post a photo onto my blog as I have been having problems for a while. This is a lovely flower blooming in my brothers garden in new zealand. If you are able to see this photo I will be back soon with a little update on my knitting adventures of late.
