Your grays are so beautiful, and the circles have created something stunning.
Would love the instructions for your huswife! Something to look forward to after the holiday rush! Happy Christmas to you!
I love the Thermus and your choice of buttons! I'm with you on the socks. I love baby socks, but the adult ones... not so much... I think it's so great that you wrote up the pattern for the huswife. I'm not a sew-er, but I think I would like a copy if you don't mind... Who knows... maybe someday... If not, then I still have the beautiful one you made!
Sheila...and anyone without a blog link...PM me your email of you want the file/pattern. Blogger does not give up your info!
Hi u, I love your greys, they are so classy.
I only learnt to knit back in April, I have started my first sock, but have only got down from the cuff (err, the top of the sock...see clearly havent got a clue, sorry)to the top of the heel and have now lost my nerve. I havent given up and will pick it up again in the new year. I am determind to learn. Im rambling on. So, wishing you a good week, much love ClareX
I absolutely love that bracelet - that is gorgeous. I wish you all the best for this holiday season...see you on the other side.
I love grays, your Thermis us gorgeous!! Definitely something snugly to wear in this snowy weather.
What a great gift ~ a real treat for some lucky person!
I wish I was progressing. I wish I was confident. Beautiful post . No need to enter me. You have blessed me enough.
Would love the PDF for your huswife. I haven't knit baby socks yet, just adult. I have to say that I have finally hit on toe up, two at a time magic loop method and have conquered single sock syndrome. (It was however pointed out to me that I could have cast on both socks on two sets of needles all along and thereby fixed that problem...) oh well. The greys are lovely.
the greys are beautiful, and I have been envious of your huswife for some while. Best of the season.
I am in the mood for greys too. There is something about greys and winter that is soothing.
No need to enter me as lucky enough to have one from you. p.s. I put up some pics on my blog. Have happy holidays!
I would also love the huswife pattern. I think (hope) you still have my email...
I, too, love gray. In fact, several walls in our house are painted a dark gray. So soothing, yet also neutral. They go with all my fave earthy colours. I would be delighted to be the recipient (if chosen) of the wonderful sock book. I'd also really appreciate the pattern for the huswife -- you're so multi-talented!
Grey is a gorgeous classy color ~ all your knits look beauitful and will go with everything! Hope you are feeling in the pink soon :)
The black buttons are a fab choice!
thanks in advance for sharing your directions for the huswife! found your hand work at zebra knits. lovely, simply lovely.
Please send along that great pattern - yours is lovely! (foppersATcharterDOTnet) That book is on my wish list too! Your thermis will be gorgeous - more fabulous button magic!
I've been admiring your huswifes and wish I had one one, but this could be even better. Thank you for writing up the pattern and a bigger thank you for offering to send it!
You will share?! I would love to make a huswife after the holiday rush - some quiet hand sewing sounds lovely. Thank you, how generous of you. By the way, all the grays are beautiful, they lend a quiet cocoon, so cozy.

Beautiful post. Everything looks lovely. The bracelet is fantastic in the Berroco Seduce. I'd love the instructions for the huswife. I think it would be the perfect January project. Thank you!

The greys look so very cosy - ready to cocoon with in on these dark midwinter evenings.
Hand sewing a huswife might just be the thing to cocoon with in january after the holiday excitement. I would appreciate a copy of the pattern to work from.
Peace and joy to you on this solstice evening. Yvonne
Happy Holidays. I really love the bracelet...keep up the good work!!
I would love a copy of the huswife pattern!!! design (at) j2solutions (dot) net
Oh, thank you so much! I have adored them since I first saw them on your blog!!!
I'm more of a sewer than a knitter & would love to make me a little hswf. Thanks for sharing. The poetry makes for nice atmosphere, on this wintry solstice eve. Be cozy.

Loving the greys! I think you're inspiring me for a color jag of my own. I love to knit adult socks and have had that particular book on my wishlist. I would love to have it. Thanks!
Grays usually bore me. But not today. As usual, I love all of your creations. Merry Christmas!
Not sure I left my email on my firs comment. But will leave it here again . cglasstone@hotmail.com
Thank you again.

P.S.
I remember singing the "Shades of Gray" song many, many years ago. (Maybe 40 years.) It was on one of my Monkees albums and I knew all the words to all their songs. If it played today I think I could still sing along. "When the world and I were young, just yesterday. Life was such a simple game, a child could play...." Thanks for the memory and Merry Christmas.
oops - the cold on Sunday must have frozen my brain - forgot to leave an email address for the huwife pdf - cheers

As usual, you are pure inspiration. An artist who lives by her Emerson quote. Thank you again for the huswife pattern.
Merriest of Christmases to you and yours.

Beautiful!
Happy holidays to you!!
I've just found you and discovered your beautiful work. Your grays are divine - your choice of yarn and patterns delicious... am looking forward to 'visiting' you for a while - am sure my mind will be swimming with inspiration over the holiday break, thanks to you.
Merry Christmas x
love the grays and the bracelet. eileen_laporteATyahooDOTCOM
Stunning greys in the bracelet, mmmm. Thanks for sharing the pattern. May your holidays be anything but grey, enjoy!

I recently discovered your blog through 6.5 stitches and I love your words and pics and the work of your hands. thank you from the bottom of my heart for the pattern for the huswife. I've been wanting to make one for my mother-in-law. My e-mail address is rosaliae(at)yahoo(dot)com
Merry Christmas!
I would like to recived your pattern and to enter in the giveaway, I am trying to get back to knit and quit my addition to sew. I would like to go back to my origins, and that book would be the perfect excuse!
I love your colors. You are such an inspiration
I've blatantly copied your buttons on my Thermis Cowl - hope you don't mind! :)
I stumbled across a huswife you'd made for someone as a gift and then here. I love the texture and the practicality. A pattern you say? Wonderful!
ldpaulson
Am so desperate to make a huswife (have tried, and failed, not half such an object of desire as yours...sigh) Would be very grateful to you for a pattern to make my very own, especially after finding the tinyiest, cutest scissors...) Please..? Pretty please..?
Wishing a calm and peaceful new year to you,
I'd love a copy of your huswife pattern. I love your blog.
I would love the pattern for the needle roll if it is not too late. Thank you
Not sure if you're still sending the pattern, but I would LOVE one. It seems like just the sort of thing to take away the winter blues, keep the mind occupied until a birthday rigid heddle loom shows up and make a girl smile. (And perhaps get her to sew more?)
I found your blog through Black Dog Knits, and I absolutely love it!
Reposted because it helps to include an address, right?

Hello from a French girl based in Turin, Italy, I do confirm (I read some of your past posts), I do not get fat.... even when I stopped smocking, and after having given birth to three lovely kids, I get thinner lol....This is a beautiful place with a beautiful atmosphere. I like what you do...
I searched for a huswife, a gift for my husband's mother, she lost hers, a heart-shaped one. When I found yours i thought that it could replace it. I would be really pleased to receive the pattern of the huswife....

Am I too late? I would very much like to have a go at making the huswife, if you're still willing to send out the pdf. I think they have similar ones in the Museum for Personal Adornment in Manchester – beautiful, faded and much used ones.
with thanks and best wishes, Sue

Hello, bonjour... Another French passing by. I saw a huswife over at zebraknits and I clicker through to read more about them; I would love the pattern too, if you still send it out. If not I shall improvise..
My needlebook at the moment is an old one my mother made of striped linen/silk in the early eighties; I embroidered the word 'Aiguilles' (needles, in French) on it with my young girl clumsiness. It was nice, but the inside pages are of a material that didn't withstand time and use very well, which is why I'm on the path to a new one. :)
T, I love following your creative process - the knitting the sewing, the beautiful photographs!!
I'm inspired and would love to gift huswife myself, if the pattern is still available would you please send me a copy.
