More Freedom Spirit

More old projects from last winter. I made the fingerless gloves using Twilley's Freedom Spirit. (previous post) I had bought two hanks of that yarn, so I decided to make something else. Something really fast. First I made a silly "nut"-hat, which I can't imagine wearing seriously every day... Maybe I wear it sometimes just for fun. Then I made a very simple headband, which is not too bad. It is actually quite a practical accessory. I have actually been wearing it many times.

Warm winter hands

The projects of this post are really old. I finished them last winter, but have forgotten to take photos of them. I think last winter was quite warm here in Ireland. So I didn't have to wear any kind of mittens most of the winter and thin mittens or fingerless mittens were warm enough, or maybe I am becoming a bit like many Irish people, who are wearing t-shirts in the middle of the winter... Anyhow I love both of this yarns, Artesano Inca Cloud and Twilley's Freedom Spirit. As you can see I like long mittens to cover the wrists properly. I think the white Inca Cloud mittens have remained tidier than those Freedom Spirit ones.

Valokuvatorstai, "inhimillinen tekijä".

Valokuvatorstai this week.

One day a little Irish boy was playing with his favorite toy. The other day he didn't want it anymore and so the parents threw it away with other rubbish to someone else's garden.

"Jo joutui armas aika..."

Greece, Greece, Greece.

I promised to write about my trip to Greece. I actually came back from there exactly one month ago. We were there nine days, of which six days in Athens and Porto Rafti visiting my boyfriend's sister and her family. In the middle of our stay in Greece we went to Mykonos for three days. We did also short trip to Delos, near Mykonos. We are looking for to go again.

Quick look around Athens.
