knitting in January




it's been much colder than normal this winter, but still there're some lovely flowers blooming in our barckyard. cyclamen is one of them, they look even prettier with snow!
when i was sick in bed, i also spent hours knitting, that's something we can do everywhere and anywhere of course in pj's. i made some little stuff mostly for kitchen. making stuff without a complicated gauge is totally stress-free and relaxing.
my dear friend hanae visited me over the weekend and we had a wonderful time together. we did enjoy super fresh-and-delish food from fish to pasta, wine, music, and chat-chat-chat. she brought me her hand-knitted bolero (above)!!!  i'm simply so touched and feel warm inside out. what a nice gift, i love-love-love it!!!
