Getting those WIPS off the sticks
2011 - yellow jersey
A knitting tragic with more wool than time, plus crochet and of course great shoes. Plus other random stuff from time to time...
About Me
- Rose Red
- Shoes are my weakness. Plus fine wool and even better, when either are on sale. I'm a scorpio, myers briggs type ISFP (don't think I've ever knowingly met another one), favourite colour is red (clearly).

gorgeous!
But wasn't it hot in Sydney today? Shouldn't you have done this months ago??? he he
What a lovely fire to be able to sit in front of, so peaceful and relaxing.
Even though its v warm here I am jealous of that fire!
I can feel the heat from here! Oh, wait, it's just hot. :D
how lovely!
those tiles are gorgeous. I foresee many Winter nights spent knitting by the fire
How nice does that look? Wish I had one right now - it's drizzly and I have wet hair from my swim.
oh look at that! I used to have one of those and LOVED it. I have to say I am most jealous.
such an evocative photograph.
i'd be tempted to hang stockings and hope some wool-laden elf was just passing.
OMG, it's just beautiful. Beautiful. I just ADORE your house.
As beautiful as this looks ( and the tile is to die for!), I can't say I'm envious as the high here today is 88 (sorry, like most Americans I cannot do metric).
What a charming picture! Your house is adorable!
it looks quite romantic. There's something about a fire.
I'm dangerous around fires, I like to poke and play with them. But I also like to lay by them with a good book and a cuddly blanket and a sippable cup of tea.
Looks wonderfully cozy! Here we've got our fire outside with over 90 degree days.
WHAT a gorgeous fireplace!! Makes our plywood-surrounded gas heater look very very ugly indeed.
How nice to have such a lovely period piece in your house.
it is lovely, but now i have that song in my head....and we all know what the next line is right?
I'm overcome by jealousy! Jim won't let me put a wood-burning stove in the house, so we have to make do with little electric heaters when it cools down, and they don't provide nearly the same ambiance.
I love the fire and the tiles are gorgeous. Very jealous I am
oh nice. Tonight is the first night this winter we haven't lit ours. I feel spring is coming
