Happy Valentine’s Day to my family and friends far and wide!
As my sisters and my friends keep pointing out to me, it has been far too long since I posted to my blog, and what better day to reach out to all of you than February 14th?
So today I ventured outside with camera, heart, and newly-felted mittens in hand, determined to get a snapshot to show you my fresh-off-the-needles project AND my love. Big clumpy snowflakes were wafting down in an idyllic way, and everything looked beautiful.
I love winter.
And so does this little girl:
As usual, she was determined to get as close as possible to the forbidden handknit wool item. Note the evidence at the bottom of this shot:
So…Happy Wintery Heart Day to all of you. I’ll be back soon (promise!), as I have lots to share after such a long absence.

A blog post after a long hiatus always makes me think of in Raiders of the Lost Ark when Sallah says, “Oh, my friends! I’m so pleased you’re not dead.” Or something like that.
Say hello to the doglet for me!

Lovely felted mittens, to warm the heart as well as the hands.
Knitting for warmth is as good as it gets.
