Snow

It has been really cold over here recently, so cold in fact that it even snowed last night. I know for many parts of the world snow is nothing more than an every winter event (I am Russian, I should be used to it), but for England it is something rare and unusual.
Thank God, I don’t have to travel till Friday, when it had snowed last year trains stopped running.

Anyways, because it is so cold I’ve got a chance to wear my River shawl together with the matching hat. I even bought a lovely felted broche to go with it.




On the knitting news: all of my knitting will have to wait till weekend as I have left it in Cam deliberately (it is a new term and I have to focus on it). However, on Sunday night I made further progress on Demi: it is 4 complete diamonds now. I find it quit a struggle to photograph it as the colour is so dark. Honestly, I am not sure I will make it justice when it will come to modelling for the FO post.

Frogging

Had to do a very sad thing today: to frog 2/3 of the back of the lovely Phildar cardi I ve started this summer. Never thought I would have to say it, bt losing weight is disadvantageous for your current knitting projeckts. As I ve slimmed down from 44/46- 40/42 in 4 months, I didnt realise it would affect my cardi, stupid I suppouse. So now I have to redo the whole thing and it is not a small job to do. Here is the cardi

I am also knitting River form Rowan 38 as a matching compliment for one of my self-adapted designes. Here is the latest version of the update and the hat itself as I have not yet posted it
