At last, a crafty FO

Good morning one and all,

I have at last one crafty FO to showcase after 3 months in Switzerland! Well, not strictly true, I had to knit Mr T a Kindle pouch in January but practical things don't really count. I have been kinda lazy craft-wise since moving to Switzerland. First of all, I did not receive my moving boxes from Scotland until mid-February so I did not have my craft suitcase with me (yes, that's how big it is!). And then, I guess I enjoyed having a bit of a break from making things. I did miss not spending a couple of hours every evening knitting/making things but I have also for the first time in ages been able to actually watch series/movies! Anyhow, I rediscovered bits of leftover felt and wool at the weekend and decided to sit down on the balcony and attempt to make something vaguely pretty with whatever was at hand.

The resulting FO will not be winning any craft achievement of the year award but this little wreath does cheer up my front door and, more importantly, has given me the motivation to finish WIPs that have been lying around for a few weeks now (and which include 3/4 of one knitted sock and 70% of a baby blanket made of left over yarn). So, I will thrive to have some more ta-da moments to share with you in the near-ish future (the parents arrive for a 3 days stay in Switzerland this afternoon, that is if they don't get lost on their 6 hours drive from France...).

Cheerio!!

PS: the snowman's head on Monday exploded after 10min and 56s I was told, forecasting a good summer in Switzerland. I can't think of a more unreliable way of predicting the weather!! (maybe that is the sceptic scientist in me???)
