In the middle of our "longest weekend ever" we heading up to my favourite relaxing place in the world, Marysville. On the way we stopped and took photos of my just finished Stranachlachar.
It was a really fun knit. I changed nothing at all - except ignoring all the weird directions when Kate Davies says to "push the stitches around the needle" Makes no sense, so I skipped it.
I even knit it to the length specified in the pattern - very unusual for me, because I'm fairly short.
I also made a pair of little mitts a very clever pattern by Martina Behm, that took me one evening to make, and like the vest are a very clever construction.
The outfit kept me warm and comfortable during a very relaxing weekend, which involved much sitting on the deck looking at this view:
Quite a lot of drinking tea form the ugliest tea pot in history, on said deck,
And some trail running to the top and bottom of waterfalls.
I love my urban life, with it's cars and business and neighbours, but it's such a pleasure to take a "weekend" out, and go where the main noise is cockatoos, and do nothing more complicated than knit, read, run and spend time with Leon.
