Knitting Update
So after some practicing I have finally got the hang of this mysterious art.  I have completed my first project, a chunky waistcoat affair, which despite my friends best efforts at convincing me otherwise, will not be worn outside Chez Lulumama.  It is interesting and looks lovely on the hanger, just not on me!  However, its is nice and warm so is coming in handy in this never ending winter. I have now started work on the above, a jumper for my little one, it is a very simple pattern but this is enough for the moment, cable and fairisle still look like a foreign language to me, but maybe one day......

We have got through considerably more coal this winter, but knitting in front of a roaring stove is very comforting!
