forgot to mention that the pattern I used for the

scarves I blogged about yesterday,

and which will accompany me on my holiday

'up north' in a few weeks time was found here......

it's easy-peasy and works up in just a couple of hours.

I made mine quite long

{I have no idea how many stitches I used......just LONG.....}

I will have some crafting time once I get to my destination 

{a beautiful 'cottage' in rural North Devon where my sister is priviledged to reside},

but plan on doing lots of talking, eating, drinking coffee, 

catching up with all the cuddles I have missed out on with my great-niece 

and just generally enjoying a COLD Christmas season......

hence my need to get a wriggle on with things now.....
