wrapped in love

I am so glad I started my knitting season early this year!
With an ever expanding family, there are a lot of very cold necks and heads, I can tell you!
This week I turned my attention to my two little great-nieces who live down in Canberra.
These delightful little girls are lucky enough to have a french/English heritage.
My niece Nanette is married to a gorgeous Frenchman who only speaks french to his daughters, so they are lucky enough to be growing up learning two languages!
It comes perfectly natural to them and they are able to switch between English and french as it suits them!
These little girls have wonderful imaginations and spend endless hours playing games like dress ups, as only little girls can...
Seeing as how the winter is really starting to set in here on the coast, I can only imagine how cold it must be inland...and Canberra can be icy this time of year.
so I set about knitting up two more of those lovely silk like scarves that I made for the Husband's nieces.
I finished them last night and posted them off today. There is something magical about receiving a mystery parcel...



I just love the colours and textures of this wool. It is perfect for these two little girls! Although, I do have to admit that I wouldn't mind one for myself....
