Time has passed very fast since Christmas and here we are near the end of January already!

Well, for a start, I am more likely to finish it and wear it this year if I start now. After all the pre-Christmas snow and the rain, I yearn for sunshine and warm colours and I want to be able to open all the windows to let the fresh air in. I guess I am an "out -of -season" knitter. I am sure that, at the height of the Summer, I will be thinking of the Autumn and will be dreaming of a cosy cable jacket in warm wool...
