More and more afternoons are spent here, doing this.
The boys commence marathon checkers and chess sessions, I sit with a cuppa near and knit. The eldest closes the curtains, puts on the lamps, declares 'this is the cosiest room EVER' and settles into the rhythm of s l o w i n g down, remembering the routine that we fall into at this time of year.
Even though I try to hold on to my sanity at this time of year, I have to admit, these afternoons are pretty sweet.
I love lace knitting! What are you making?
ReplyDeleteThis time of year is so lovely, I really enjoy to be inside with a candle and some knitting. The kids feel cozy too, as they snuggle up and play with pillows. Everything gets more concentrated on us, as a family, and less on the 'outside world'. After summer, I'm always ready for that.
I started reading your blog a few weeks ago and am really enjoying it! Thanks..
I'm working up a pattern for mitts with no idea if it will work or not. If it does I'll blog the pattern. Yes we do get more connected as a family this time of year... mostly that's a good thing ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad to meet you! Thanks for stopping by :)
