How you have managed this, we have no idea as we are complete incompetents when it comes to knitting, but we have huge admiration for your talent.<br /><br />We are experiencing taciturn weather here too in Budapest and so having something like your cosy cowl to snuggle into when venturing outdoors would be great.

I used to knit when I was in my twenties (had a flat-mate who was a fashion student specialising in knitwear and she taught me) but I never mastered changing colour and could never make up the things I made (turned to my grandmother, a wondrous knitter, for that). So your post brought back a slew of memories. :) xxxExmoorjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230395732150659356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-32359045322314433182014-05-07T14:55:12.047-07:002014-05-07T14:55:12.047-07:00Gorgeous!
