to a close and it's time to put the medals
up on the wall.
Congratulations to all Knitting Olympic

End of Month

Happy end of February.
Montreal is having another VERY cold day.

(time for another sweater and a coffee).




did you know you can buy direct from
Colinette ? i love their colours.
ah, but too far away. Safer that way, though.

time for an extra sweater

it's super cold
this morning here in Montreal.
we have something known as wind chill
that goes with the temperature
as seen by a thermometer.
with the wind chill this morning,
it's almost minus 30 degrees C.

Time to bundle
up with an extra Sweater.
