It’s all around these days.

Whether it’s in a new book…

In the Internets…

Or in a new environment…

Knitting New Scarves is such a fabulous book. The construction of all the scarves is genius and it’s a nice change to be working with something heavier than a fingering weight yarn. I’d forgotten how quickly something can work up. I’m currently working on Drifting Pleats and it is very logical, very intuitive.

It’s nice being here, away from Chinese restrictions on the Internet, away from the biting cold and lack of heating, away from the dry and the disgusting pollution. I love the lifestyle in Beijing, but it’s nice to get a little break. I arrived home to a couple of new additions to the family. Adorable little things.
