This year's Christmas was so different to last year. I remember worrying about getting snowed in and weather I would meet up with my family or not for the celebrations.
2011, in stark contrast was positively barmy! I went out for a walk on Christmas day and didn't miss my scarf which I'd forgotten to pack.
If you are having snow and wintry withdrawal symptoms though, and looking for your next knitting project, this knitting pattern for the Boreal jumper, from Kate Davies at Needled, is sure to help bring the shiver back into your life.
The pretty snowflake pattern reminds me of Scandinavian design and is sure to get many compliments.
You can read more about the inspiration behind the pattern here. It's also available on Ravelry.
Unfortunately for me, a jumper on my to-do list will have to be fairly low down in priority, but perhaps I can get one made before next Christmas!
