Here we are at the first Tuesday of February with our Photographic Monthly Meet Up.
The theme this month is WARM, so join us by leaving links in the comments to any photographs and/or posts both current and archive. Let’s all meet up for a huddle to keep warm – cos ‘baby it’s cold outside’! At least it is here. Any photos of warmer climes will be much drooled over and appreciated!
It might be frosty outside this morning but inside I’m indulging in some cosy hooky time before getting out of bed!
I’m loving the warm colours of Attic24’s Woodland Cal and in the 5th week of the Cal the blanket is big enough to keep me warm whilst crocheting.
I’m already thinking of new projects using these scrummy colours.
Going back to February 2013 I found this post – and the colours fit with the Warm theme
And this post from February 2014 when I was in Abu Dhabi for two gloriously WARM weeks.
In February 2015 I was keeping cosy under the Attic24 Cosy Cal
In February 2016 I knitted 14 bobble hats to keep my family warm
In February 2017 the Attic24 Cal was once again keeping me warm with my Hedgerow version of Lucy’s Moorland Blanket.
How are you keeping warm?
The theme stays open all month, just leave your links in the Comments.
I’m really looking forward to seeing your take on WARM.
Now I’d better get up!
Update:
This photo is of Bentley, a very warm dog, trying to cool off on a hot summers day. Sent to me by my sister, you can see her wonderful paintings and silver jewellery on Instagram

A lovely theme to visualize during this week of plummeting temperatures! It’s nice when a project becomes large enough to serve a purpose while still a WIP 😀

I am very fond of Attic24’s CALs aren’t I. I looked at Lucy’s blog to see if I have done them all and I found the Sunny Log Cabin, which I haven’t done: http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/sunny-log-cabin-blanket.html

Not sure the right link was in my comment before. It is now. I don’t think I will do the Sunny Log Cabin as it doesn’t look very relaxing to do – too much construction for my liking.

No, it wasn’t the right link – this is very different! Pretty and bright though, but not a straight out all in one go affair – lots of ends to thread back in! Fully understand your reluctance 🙂

Hello there
It’s warm here in Melbourne today but my Warm post is a memory of a day at the beach in 1960
I’m hoping It fits the bill.
Love love love your blankets and the colours are divine.

It’s snowing here, but it’s warn inside… there are a variety of blankets to snuggle under, but I am currently under one knitted from (the sadly missed) Colinette yarn. On my needles: a jumper for me in warm wool from New Lanark and the hat I’m designing for Faithmead, using lovely blue-faced Leicester wool (with a touch of ‘rose ‘silk’) from not too many miles down the road.

Your home must be SO snuggly with all that lovely wool. I miss the colours of Colinette too – I still have loads of it stashed away – the sad thing about it is that the colours run so much and it is not very practical for children’s wear.
LikeLike
Yes, I only use Colinette for things that rarely need washing. I have a couple of blanket kits still, which I bought when they were selling off their final stock, plus some oddments… I’m strangely reluctant to use them because I know there will be no more, which is silly really.
