purple woollies....cosy sunday, lazy monday

we had rain here yesterday so I didn't have a chance to pick up apples in el campo...
staying at home was equally nice...feeling cozy in my new purple poncho which I now wear all the time...

I have a weakness for purple woollies. Last winter I knitted this piece which I wear as a collar

this sunday I started a simple sweater with a low neckline, low enough to show the black lace of some nice underwear. It's wool and alpaca...Such a nice feel...I love knitting watching movies like Pride and Prejudice or romantic movies with French actress Isabelle Adjani as it makes me feel so romantic too !

Have a cosy, lazy monday !

Oh, beautiful! I love purple. (And I wish I could knit ... Well, as my mother said, wishing is not going to get you anywhere, so maybe I must just learn to do something more exciting than plain and purl ...)

Well, obviously I HAD to work today, so no lazy Monday for me :-). It was, however a lazy Sunday yesterday.

Nice purple woolies indeed.

Greetings from London.

Oh how comfortable that looks! And in the season's trendy colors, too! The first photo reminds me of a field of lavender- as seen from the back of a speeding car. ;-)

OOOOH That is so pretty and inviting! I admire your ability to knit- i tried it once but my stitches were ridiculous. Purple an all time favorite. Beautiful!

Your new poncho looks snuggly and glamorous, Lala! And I am very impressed with your knitting. My aunt tried to teach me once and it didn't take. I am too impatient.

I can only imagine you in your low cut sweater with the black lace peeking out - probably making all the men around you swoon!

Lala, I checked out Le Bon Marche's for the first time today. Good God, the Grande Epicerie was heaven! I am in love. And ruined for supermarkets for life.

purple is the color for royalty dear Princess Lala! truly this looks cozy and warm. i like the idea of you knitting while watching pride and prejudice. i like to imagine and create for myself cosy moments, it gives me a feeling of home.

Lala, just wanted to thank you for the kind words you share with me. your words and warmth are comforting and inspiring to me...

i appreciate you so!

bisous
