Having got Shane to help me wind a skein of wool, I had made a start at knitting with it, last night. I tend to sit beside the side hatch. During the day this is open to let in light but it also has a perspex cover that can keep out wind and rain. At night we close it. I found that when blogging or knitting I was getting cold hands. I am sitting still, which doesn’t help, and the hatch, I noticed recently, has a slight draft even when closed. I have decided to try knitting gloves to keep wrists and hands warm, but leave the fingers free to use a touchscreen and manipulate needles. Also I liked the pattern and it’s an excuse to use the idea well and new , to me, pattern book from the village stall. I have never heard of, triple gull stitch, so since I have been enjoying watching birds (the pattern on the back of the mitt is a little like 3 flying birds) I liked it even better. I was pleased Shane was making bread as it allowed me to do some more this morning. Hoping it isn’t Spring before I am done!
