As I’m writing this post, it is raining outside, and I’m elated that the winter season as we know it in the North West, with strong winds and endless rains, has finally started. I almost began to feel depressed when the sun was still dazzling at the end of October.
We know now that I love knitting, and this lovely dress is one of the latest creations. I’m not even going to care if I sound immodest because I love it myself. It’s cosy, funky, sexy, unique, and ended up being very stylish. It is designed by me and was inspired by the stripy tights I have that feature the same green, blue, and red colours.
That’s how far one can go when they have different colours of yarn at home.
I was having a lot of coffee meetings recently, and the other day I ended up at Costa Coffee in Market St in Manchester. This cafe is located in what used to be a bank or building society, is quite spacious, and this helps Costa successfully withstand competition from Caffe Nero that shares the wall with Costa, and from Starbucks that sits just across the road. They do love coffee in the U.K.
As my coffee mate and I were getting up to leave, a member of staff appeared next to me:
– Oh, I see, you’ve made this dress for Christmas, right? With a bit of green and red…
Well, if truth be told (which I have told at the beginning of this post), this was not designed as a Christmas dress. But there is certainly something about it. So, considering I can wear this dress pretty much any time of the year, except the hot summer days, I’ve created the precondition for having a special Movable Feast all to myself.
