Felt Again

I'm going to do Meet Me at Mikes Make-a-Long. This months theme is Felt. I've no idea yet what I'm going to make. Felt reminds me of winter and being cold - its been 40+ for the last few days and so nothing is popping into my mind (actually, I think I've lost a few cells up there to the really quite stupid heat its been exposed to). And now - I'm going to try adding the button to link back to the Meet Me at Mike site - bear with me head . .

Knitted Gloves


Yes, it is hitting 29C outside today - and these are knitted gloves. Thats what happens when your family live in a dirrerent hemisphere. You are always making out of season gifts. Knitting in the middle of Summer. Which got me thinking. My mums birthday is at the start of winter, and I'm always giving her winter related gifts, hats, gloves, scarves etc etc. My mother in laws birthday is in the middle of Summer, and i always lament that I've never had the chance to knit her some gloves or a scarf. Is it wrong to give someone a knitted Winter hat for their birthday, in the middle of Summer?
