I went to my favorite little town of Occoquan a couple of weeks ago. I bought this candle (well, among other things)... I had wanted it when I was there on my birthday in December - but was already spending too much money - so passed it buy. This time, I grabbed it. I believe it used to be an old sugar or maybe flour shaker... The scent of the candle is Orange/Clove. Smells divine - almost like Thanksgiving....
To take a break from knitting scarves (which of course I'm still doing) - I've gone on a cowl kick. This is done in a basketweave pattern... I'm planning on trying to finish it this weekend - so I can wear it this year - while it is still cold outside!
"Winter Wonderland" by Blackbird Designs. I had started this design awhile back, but just didn't care for the linen color I was using. So I set it aside for a bit. Then I saw a finished one on a blog I read. I grabbed mine back out - found a piece of linen I liked - and the rest is history. I'm loving this! I have fun with it every time I pick it up to put a few stitches in. I did change the colors of the greens in it. I'm using DMC threads with Lakeside Linen in Meadow Rue I believe....

Love all your stitching as usual Linda! You are one talented person! I have been busy stitching as well. I need to update my blog. Love the color of the cowl.
