What a harsh Winter!

Yet another Atlantic storm - this one is called "Stephanie" and is starting to hit Portugal, along with all the other countries of Western Europe, such as the British Isles. I hope this huge storm is the last one and from now on we can have just a "normal" Winter.

Here at home the girls made themselves very cozy on this very wintery Sunday, as you can see...

 
 

... as I try to knit a bit.

At the moment I am knitting the second rectangle for my poncho, so that I can put both parts together and assess the right size for both parts.

 
 
 

I also have been stiching a bit on my M. Quertier (1799) from a Scarlet Letter chart. Just instead of stitching in black, I am doing in colour as you can see from the photo

 
 

I like to have different WIPs on, so that I don't get borred in working only on one thing... well to tell the truth I have several cross stitch WIPs on... I'm sure I'm not alone there!

Tomorrow another working week begins and let's see what I can do in the handwork front and if I will have any updates to show you next week.

Until then I wish you a very good week and a milder Winter.
