First winter day, and a promise of, but not quite real frost at least in this garden. It’s possible that I simply got out of bed too late, though! Uglemor has taken care of that bit of December greeting for me. 😉
I had a real quick photo session in the garden with my finished cloth, it was windy, all attempts at making Mimi stand up were futile, so you’ll have to imagine that I can make some sort of cape to go with my black coat. That is, if there’s enough yardage to go round after I wash it!
This is how it all began, with Leo as my usual faithful quality controller.
Tomorrow however, there is a blue line on the forecast. I wonder how my garlic will fare? I can’t remember if they’re supposed to be this lively already!

With a cape that beautiful, you’ll look forward to cold weather! Did you dye the yarn for this? The colors are gorgeous!

Thanks! Yes, I dyed 4 different skeins and then mixed the threads in the warp, near black for the weft. Some leftover natural yarn I wanted to be gone. 🙂

Yes, that cloth is AWESOME. I really want a cape with a hood. Before moving here, I searched online for elvish capes with hoods so I’d look like a fairy-in-new-york. Sadly they were beyond my budget but one day I’ll have a bright purple cape! One day.

I do confess to a weakness for elvish capes with big hoods myself. Bright purple sounds ravishing! (my colourmaking brain gears kicking in here….)

Nej hvor er det flot! Jeg har heldigvis en kappe, den fandt jeg på et genbrug efter adskillige års søgen. Alle Ugleungerne vil gerne stjæle/låne den, men den er *min* Sydtysk eller østrigsk fabrikat, hvordan den endte på et genbrug her i nærheden, er et godt spørgsmål.
Dine hvidløg ligner mine fra forrige år, de klarede det. Enenste problem med hvidløg er, at jeg altid glemmer at tage dem op, og så spirer de igen 😉
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas …

Tak! Og godt at høre fra en kappebruger, jeg har været lidt i tvivl om jeg bliver til grin nede i Brugsen…. Men jeg elsker kapper og gad egentlig godt lave en hel en. Men måske de er for svære at gå med, når det blæser hele tiden! Jeg vil prøve at indarbejde følgende citat som jeg læste i går: “dress like nobody’s judging”.
Intet hvidt her i dag heller. Jeg stod ellers tidligt op, så jeg kunne være klar med kameraet i solopgangen som heller ikke rigtig skete, i hvert fald ikke sådan på første parket.

Nej, heller ikke hverken frost eller solopgang her. Vi prøver igen i morgen – der skulle være gode chancer.
