Hello from a cold and grey London, England. We are having our coldest winters for many years, last year it snowed for weeks and it is just starting again! I have started knitting gloves, scarf's and wraps for all my family and friends. Happy Christmas to you and keep warm, keep knitting. xxx Maria

I was excited to hear that the new issue of spinknit was available for the ipad too but I can't find it when I follow the link. Will it be coming at a later date?

What a beautiful pattern and pair of mittens, Anne. I'm working on texting gloves/mittens for my daughter from SpinOff magazine, and I haven't started the mitten part. The cables on these mittens are so interesting that I might have to figure out how to incorporate them in the last step of my project.

My heart feels for your loss of knitting notions. I, too, have a wealth of needles and gadgets from my grandmother, including her knitting bag. Each time I use something from her collection, I picture her knitting away, wearing one of her beautiful sweaters, watching Crocket's Victory Garden on PBS.

I have found eBay to be a source of older knitting supplies, so you might find some of your favorite cable needles on that site.

Enjoy the winter! A snowstorm is such a perfect reason to slow down, stay inside and knit and knit and spin.

All my best,

Nancy
