That was better. Sunny and cold, again. C. came. We made the effort, and got out, and all the way around the garden. Once out there, despite the cold, it felt like spring. The light is returning by handfuls, although I think I read somewhere that it is only a minute and a half a day.

 

And Hermes delivered those knitting needles. Wordle defeated me, though.

 

“Aroon” progresses nicely, although its new Lykke needle hasn’t really made all that much difference to the experience of knitting it, which was already pleasant. I am (just about at/just short of) the first staging post, where my only task is to insert markers and then knit straight on.

 

Today’s pattern in Kate Davies’ Argyle club is a super double-sided cabled scarf, modelled by an equally super young man. KD says that he will contribute this weekend’s essay about the Argyll coast. I do like cables, and long scarves.
