Well of course I rolled in to wish everyone a Happy New Year late, fashionably late? My new years resolution is to work on my tardiness :)
I spied a Magic Feather Horse during the holidays....
We had to ride on them of course....
Oh, and due to popular demand, I proudly present to you the first scarf I ever knitted. The faux Jack Wills scarf.
Obviously, I did not knit the Faux Jack Wills hat, this is indeed real Jack Wills, because as awesome as I try to be, I am not so awesome that I can learn to knit fairisle, indeed I have baked babie's faster than it has taken to learn to knit and purl, hence I fear fairisle knitting might be some way off, or at least until we can upload new skills into our brains, Matrix style. In which case, I would also learn Ju Jitsu and how to play chess like a bad ass, and maybe waffle making French style.
Wishing you all the very best for 2012 :)
EDIT: The prettyfull brunette is my adorable little sister Sophie, and not me!
Those are the prettiest carousel horses ever! Looks so much fun.
ReplyDeleteThat hat suits your scarf very well. :)
You are so pretty! That's the first pic of you I've seen, I think!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pro job on the scarf!
The ice skating rink seems FUN! Ours doesn't have anything to push little ones on, although I wish it did.
Beautiful horse pics! :)
You are lovely! and...GREAT job on the scarf! I am going to learn to knit this year if it kills me:) Hopefully not:) Happy New Year!!!
ReplyDeletehow lovely and beautiful! best for 2012 to you too.
ReplyDeletewow...you can ice skate??!! I can't even stand up in them!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Mrs. I think your new found knitty skills look fab. I too cannot follow a pattern (or dare not try to learn for fear of utter failure).
ReplyDeleteLets hope 2012 bring great things for both of us xx
This post made me smile a whole lot! Congratulations on your brilliant scarf knitting, it truly looks authentic JW. I'm not patient enough to knit such a long scarf, maybe one day :0)
ReplyDeleteYou tube is great for tutorials on various knitting techniques, I can't believe that I have just "conquered" my very first double pointed needle's sock. A year ago this seemed like an impossible feat, so keep going at it and yo'll be amazed at how much easier it becomes.
Happiness and sunshine for your 2012 too xox
really great post! and your scarf is lovely!
ReplyDeleteYahooo for you...love that scarf and your adorable photo. I am afraid it would take me a long long time to knit anything.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you for a wonderful year and weekend. xoxoxo
