Year of projects - Happy Easter

Happy Easter one and all!

I'm not sure what its like elsewhere, but here it is glorious!

This week's YOP post is brought to you from sunny Scotland, we arrived in beautiful Fionnphort last night.  It's the first time we've been to Scotland, and we are not disappointed.

First up, I finished my Miss Winkle....in fact  finished it on the journey here, I've only recently discovered I can knit while being driven, which for me (terrible traveller) is a miracle.  We got stuck in a long queue at roadworks for best part of an hour, so out came the knitting.  I have yet to block it, but hopefully it will be done while we are here.



I've started a small baby blanket for a friend who has just had a baby boy....Yay!  Hopefully this will be mainly done by the end of the week.


After a lovely relaxed Easter Sunday roast (and a good bit of chocolate egg), we stretched our legs a bit, and took in our surroundings.



Littlest boy not being a bit put off by our feeling sorry for the rabbit after he had bitten his ears off!

  3. Lucky you, Scotland is beautiful. I'm glad you can knit while you travel. I can only do it for a short while at the end of a journey. It would be lovely if I could knit the whole time, but like you, I don't travel particularly well. I hope you have a really lovely time in Scotland. CJ xx

  5. Hello Faith!

    Why did you not pack me into your suitcase? Scotland is amazing and it certainly looks as though you are having fantastic weather. I'm so glad for you.

    Your shawl fits in perfectly into your surroundings too. I love the colours your chose!

    Happy holidays to you and your family, Faith. I had to avert my gaze from that poor earless rabbit :-)

  9. Loving the views of Scotland, it's gorgeous weather here also, just perfect for Easter break. Haha love the disturbing picture and Miss Winkle is gorgeous I just love the splash of colour at the loops I think it's fab. I'm doing a ripple blanket also, it's such a great simple pattern isn't it.

  10. Love your Miss Winkle, the colour of the loops is lovely. Your baby blanket looks great, again lovely colours. We have committed a few rabbit atrocities ourselves!!

  11. That does it....I can't stand it...I HAVE to make a Miss Winkle!!!! I'm not even sure if I can wait until YOP14/15....although I need to start planning and ordering yarn. How nice to go to Scotland for Easter and although it was hard to look at the poor bunny..those blue eyes in the background probably melted them off...he's so darn cute. Your Miss Winkle is beyond words pretty. I love the ripple, of course and I need to start hitting some projects harder than I have been. Thanks for the inspiration! Happy Easter!

I'd love to hear what you think, and I won't be asking you to jump through hoops (or fill in a captcha) to do it.............
