almost ready...

We are about to return home, which is quite good after two months. Actually good and sad at the same time, maybe I should make a post to express my feelings: I'm really happy to return home, to see my family, my friends, my house. I'm not looking forward to get back to work (to the horrible atmosphere there, not to work itself, as I'm actually happily working a lot here). I'm sad to leave so many good friends.

Well, as I'm struggling to finish things, here is the last hat I managed to knit.

The model is Inga (free on Ravelry) by Thèonie. Very well written, and doable by an absolute beginner (this is my second attempt at fair isle), it was a pleasure to knit.

I bought the two wool balls at Morris & Sons in the city, they were on sale and called me saying it was time to try again some colorwork. I fear now I'm hooked, I like it, but still need to get better at it!

I'm now working as much as I can (so not much indeed) to finish a shawl that should stay here, I hope I'll ba bale to complete it and send it to a dearest friend before we leave. I'm almost there, so there is hope.
