A snowflake? Moi?


Forget about the Covid-19, it was a weather enforced lockdown here in Aberdeen this weekend.

So it seems Gail is knitting me a new winter jumper, with a Nordic theme. 
Mind those pointy needles please!

OK, let's have a closer look.

Hmmm. I hope no-one is going to start calling me a 'snowflake'...

  2. Wow Bertie, can't wait to see you in that fabulous jumper - it will keep you really comfy cosy in the cold weather. You are a lucky boy to have Gail to make that for you, she is so good at knitting!
    It's lovely here again today and will be quite warm out, so we might be going for a walk by the sea later. I hope we stop for a coffee because I get all the biscuit that comes with it to myself!

    Love,

    Bertie, it really has been a belter, hasn't it? Even this morning has been far from fun... although there seems to be a break in it just in the last ten minutes.

    That jumper looks fabulous and no way is anyone going think of you as any kind of snowflake - Nordic jumpers tend to make one look 'rufty-tufty' I think!!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

    1. Oh Aunty, thank you, that is a big relief. I like 'rufty-tufty'.
      And guess what? It's sunny and calm here this morning.
      Toodle pip!
      Bertie.

  5. I read through the comments and I wanted to tell you that since I've met you and easy and yam all in other countries I'm learning new words. Today I'm assuming that a sweater is also a jumper. I think you're going to make a beautiful snowflake but we won't call you that and this will be in addition to your beautiful furs! Red is my favorite color. Well actually black is my favorite color but after that red

    1. Gail says: I well remember my surprise on learning, when working in Oklahoma (1988-90), how in that part of the world a 'jumper' referred to a garment I would call a pinafore dress!

  8. It does look miserable and wet there, so you will need Gail to hurry up and finish your new sweater!

  9. BUT you will be the MOST handsome snowflake of all, Bertie!!! Mom is so envious of those who can knit - something she just can't seem to master.
