Blanket love


When Jefferson and Anushka were here recently, they chose this blanket I knitted, to take home with them...
looks like Rafe has already claimed it :)


And while we're on the subject of blankets, remember these crocheted squares that I didn't like the pink edging on...


They now have brown edging...


And some quotes from this beautiful book...
 enjoyed while drinking my morning coffee


"The secret is balance: instead of doing everything faster, do everything at the right speed.  Sometimes fast.  Sometimes slow.  Sometimes in between". - Carl Honore


"People look for retreat for themselves, in the country, by the coast, or in the hills...
There is nowhere that a person can find a more peaceful and trouble-free retreat than in his own mind...
So constantly give yourself this retreat and renew yourself". - Marcus Aurelius

  2. I think they picked a nice blanket - it looks quite a nice yarn from the photo ......the brown edging def looks better! I'm envious of that coffee of yours - what type of machine do you have?

    1. It's Mithril wool (New Zealand) bought online from Ecoyarns. Expensive, but lovely yarn!

      I often wonder how I survived without my coffee machine :))) It's a DeLonghi...bottom of the range, takes pods and ground coffee beans, but I've never used pods, always grind my own beans. xx

  4. Rafe has good taste. :D The crocheted one certainly looks different with the brown edging; the neutrals will be a good choice. That last photo - beautiful!
