you know the thing about hungary, england and knitting?
in hungary it was considered irrevocably "nagy mami" (grandma) to knit and even worse, to sew.
gasp//
imagine someone in their 20s wanting to do either of those two things... in public.
double gasp//
in england, and even more so in canada, it's actually quite trendy now to knit, handcraft and create with two hands. somehow that just hasn't caught on in eastern europe yet. but alas, i can knit on the train and tube with ease. i can still remember the curious looks when i would knit in the underground in budapest to and from work. the wide eyes, like they had never seen double-pointed needles in their life.
it seems every year my wish-list of knitting projects to execute gets longer but here are some of my "must-knits" for this season (the hand warmers are already on the needles).
herringbone cowl
colourblock hand warmers
short row sweater
what are you knitting up?
