Winter solstice approaches

It's always a good day when I open the mail box to find a package of wool. Today I received my latest shipment from Pickles. I purchased a kit containing merino wool from a Uraguay outfit, 'Abuelita Yarns', and a pattern for a great sweater 'Good-morning sweater'. I love this, and the yellow looks sensational, though it's not a colour I could wear. I chose a more subdued violet shade (see picture). I'm so glad it's winter!
