winter days

I am knitting, re-skeining yarn I dyed last week, and looking for the perfect pattern for this striped tweedy Cranberry yarn I just finished.  Any ideas?

The weather finally changed to absolutely gorgeous, definitely winter, bright, *snappy*, days and starfilled nights.  This has me spending more time outdoors in the woods.   All of that beautiful powder on top of hard pack makes it perfect for winter tracking and just walkin’ if you don’t mind the single digit temperatures.  Here are a couple of shots from late afternoon yesterday.

    So beautiful…both the yarn and the outdoor shots. The color looks similar to Hanging Vines which I love so much!

    Pretty! (Both.) The yarn looks lace-ish.

    Um. I wouldn’t know. Hmmm.
    No wonder you knit so much! I think I’d have to bury myself in wool, just to go out.

    I actually prefer these cold snappy days in the winter. They make you know you are alive ;-).

    How many yards do you have? Although it’s a great color – anything will look stunning in it.

    Very nice. Pictures like these make my windowless office bearable. It’s so nice to look outside vicariously.

    Judy, I can’t tell how many yards you have there, but if you’ll just send it to me, I’ll take care of it. LMK if you need my address. 😉

    Beautiful yarn! If you dye anymore “Open Water” let me know! How about a Clapotis with this cranberry yarn? Your outdoor shots are gorgeous…makes me miss my old North Jersey winters…sigh. I see you are an Andy Goldsworthy fan…have you seen Rivers and Tides? We went to the new DeYoung museum in San Francisco and he created the entry way…needless to say, it was a major WOW.

    Lucky you to actually have winter! It’s been disgustingly warm (50-60) here (Washington DC area); I’ve taken to calling it “pre-spring”. I should go ahead and plant my lettuce.
