Knit one, purl one by maggiemae

Knit one, purl one

By the fire, cosy on a cold night, knitting for John. Not that he asked for it! I just like knitting.

Three good things:
1. We have a fire rather than rely on a heat pump as is popular nowadays and costs the earth in electricity to get the same temperature as a fire.
2. Finding out about Poussada's in Portugal.
3. Automatic cat feeder.
What a lovely composition.

Sounds very nice and cozy. I've never learned to knit and probably couldn't do it now with the arthritis taking over my hands. I like the pov on this shot too!

I love this perspective, it is so unusual. It does look very cosy.

Great POV and lighting.

This looks lovely & cosy maggiemae ........we have one son who has a wood burner & the other son has heat pumps...I know which I prefer! Your hair is lovely in that light....I can see Johns slippers too! I do like the seasons .......something to be cherished about each one. Knitting queen!

Interesting angle for this fascinating shot. Looks like John is getting a sweater to keep him warm without the fire!

@happypat Pat, you picked up on the slippers! Ha ha! See the holes in them! I asked him to turn his light out so we wouldn't see them in all their holey glory!

Nice self portrait. The lighting is very soft.

@phil_howcroft I was going to do this purposely, Phil but that required a finer focus.

this is lovely, looks like a great place to be

Nice shot. It does have a very cosy look and feel to it
July 4th, 2014  
oooh doesn't that look cosy!
July 4th, 2014  
I love the pov and the misty edging. I like knitting too. Pousada's are wonderful - are you going to find one to stay in?
July 4th, 2014  
@busylady I would love to stay in one just for the experience - and of course, the photographs! But a bit expensive on our budget!

Looks a nice wool. I knit with the bamboo needles. I'm onto another baby cardi.😍
July 4th, 2014  
Lovely cozy scene. I agree there is nothing quite like a fireplace on a chilly night. We only get to use ours a few times a year.
July 4th, 2014  
Great perspective for this nice selfie.
July 4th, 2014  
@andreajoy What size needles are you working on? You must be knitting so hard! I only pick it up in the evening!
July 4th, 2014  
Lovely selfie and a quite moment near the fire. Must be getting cold there from the looks of it.
July 4th, 2014  
such a beautiful cosy atmospheric composition. I love it and have to give it a big fav!
July 4th, 2014  
Love the angle of the shot, lovely domestic scene. it has been in the 90F and high humidity.
July 4th, 2014  
Love the view, well done
July 4th, 2014  
BOO!! :-)
Such a cosy pic!
My mother loved to knit, but she rarely finished anything! When I turned 30, she still had half-knitted jumpers in the closet that were supposed to be for me when I was two! LOL!
July 4th, 2014  
Looks so relaxing!
July 4th, 2014  
Great POV. I used to love knitting. Maybe I'll return to it when I have some more time xx
July 4th, 2014  
Lovely selfie. Great POV
July 5th, 2014  
What a lovely cozy feeling to this. Are you making a sweater? I love the atmosphere!
July 5th, 2014  
What a fabulous POV and capture...
July 5th, 2014  
You have a wood burner like the one we want to get... well, we have the wood now, just need the wood burner. :)

I love this shot... a real warm cosy image - fav from me.
July 5th, 2014  
@gailmmeek Thanks Gail - get the one that suits your home - insulation makes a difference!
July 5th, 2014  
Lovely capture Maggie
July 5th, 2014  
@maggiemae me too but it's only for little babies. I am using 3 1/4mm (10) and 2 3/4mm (12)😊
July 5th, 2014  
Wonderful photo, Maggiemae!
July 5th, 2014  
Looks like something I would enjoy for a day or two. It's 38C in Northern California at the moment. Pousadas in the south of Portugal are particularly nice I heard. Have you checked on airbnb.com?
July 5th, 2014  
Looks cosy !
July 5th, 2014  
Ditto, very cozy.
July 5th, 2014  
I like the way you've lit this, with the emphasis on your hands. Cool POV
July 6th, 2014
