#58 π awe… snoOow fun!
Hello & Welcome to my 58th episode of the KWH iPad Show! Todayβs feature is a snowy bit of fibrous fun π
Oh how I love to watch snow meltβespecially after being surrounded by it since November. Friday’s mild temperatures melted a lot of snow, so I grabbed a few colourful props and ran outside to enjoy the show! Yup… gotta β€ a good ol’ fibrously fun backyard yarn-bombing photo shoot π Later that night, a storm blew into town and re-blanketed us in several inches of white But oh well, it was fun while it lasted…
The golfing clown is a Jean Greenhow design. This half-knitted WIP of mine has been cooped up in the back of my yarn closet for … gulp … years! Really wanna/oughta/gotta get around to finishing that guy! Fun to take him out to play in the snow, though! π WantΒ to try this at home? M’ Snow Lady’s face uses aΒ pink Brambleβ€οΈTINI for her noseΒ andΒ 2 greenΒ Hearty Links with Felted Loops for eyes and mouthΒ π

Thanks Sarah β€ Yeah… those big green heart-shaped eyes with loopy grin really brought her to life! Adding the heart-wreath bouquet made her a blushing bride π Our entire forecast is below average temps, so spring will likely be another month… sigh
Hoping for another mild day to try these pics again, though!
Love hand-knit socks! What colour are you knitting yours? Hope you have a wonderful week! π π Jackie@KWH

YouΒ΄re very welcome, Jackie! π I love ideas like yours, the photos are just great! So much fun to look at and I guess even more doing them π
How come that spring is always so shy coming forth whereas winter has no problem at all with that?? Being stuck in snow since November must be so hard! I had been hoping for another snowfall but we only had the one in the beginning of January… as for now, IΒ΄ve decided that thereΒ΄s no need for it anymore as I want it to be summer! π
The socks are a light gray with neon pink cuff, heel and pink π TheyΒ΄re so much fun to do, arenΒ΄t they?
Wish you a beautiful week! xxxxxx π β€

awe thanks Sarah β€ Love those colours for cheery socks! Yeah, great fun to play like a kid in the snow and add a dash of colour to the long winter! Spring truly is much too shy, while winter is not shy at all
January is a good month for snowβgotta have some snow! Fresh flakes have fallen a few times after these pics were posted …sigh… Lots to shovel! But this week's forecast predicts melting for those snowbanks and I'm looking forward to another glimpse at our grass π Wishing you a lovely weekend of sock knitting and some summer weather soon! ππππ€ π Jackie@KWH

Hi Jackie! π My mum decided she wants exactly the same socks, so IΒ΄m still knitting π Maybe IΒ΄ll post them when IΒ΄m finished π
IΒ΄ve never shoveled snow in my life! Around here in Berlin there really is never much of it around… But I bet itΒ΄s good workout π IΒ΄ll keep my fingers crossed that those snowbanks of yours are going to melt soon and that you can enjoy more glimpses at your grass π Today I saw the first crocuses! hurray!! π
Have a lovely week, my friend! π β€ xxxxxxx

awe so sweet, Sarah β€ Hope you do post your mother/daughter socks. That'd be a cute Mother's Day post π
Yup, shovelling is a great workout! Also getting to be quite the stretch, with some snowbanks now waist-high. No complaints, but the weather's been ferociously cold too
But spring is on its way! And starting yesterday, all daytime highs are +CΒΊ … currently +6ΒΊC … yay!!! Hope your week's been going well and wishing you a lovely day! πππβ€οΈπ€ π π Jackie@KWH

Yeah! You are BAAAACK again! And this subscription is working!
I always loved getting your comments and articles on Facebook, but I just had to quit FB for my sanity’s sake. So much time was wasted and so much needed to be done. Subscribing to your articles this way is great.
Today I actually managed to sandwich the layers of a mando bag I had pieced earlier. Now for the quilting and assembly… Yes! Yesterday I managed to altar a pair of pants to fit. Cutting out FB promises to give me a life again. Maybe I can actually get back to knitting and crochet and feel useful there too. I have the yarn just sitting in storage.

Glad you’re here, Beth β€ And so good to hear about your crafty progress! Yup, fb zaps a lot of would-be crafting time… There are days when I don't even go to fb
Wishing you a crafty week with a dash into your yarn storage stash! π π Jackie@KWH
