![]() Look at that – those stripes just keep on going! □ I’ll post the pattern next Thursday to give you time to have a look at it and download it ready for Friday’s KAL start, but here’s a sneak peek … It’s a Basic 4ply Knee High Socks pattern based on the Basic 4ply Socks pattern used for my Sockalong tutorials – so many people have asked me about knitting knee high socks that I thought it was time that I created a pattern for them! I hope so! Just like last year, I’ve got a brand new sock pattern coming out which I’m going to share on the blog especially for the KAL. □ Will I like the project that you have to make to take part? The dictionary definition of a haven is somewhere that offers refuge, rest and even sanctuary and that’s something that we can all be glad of, whatever the weather! Your Winter might look completely different, and that doesn’t matter at all as what’s important in this KAL is the “haven” part and you can have that anywhere in the world. Oh, and to finish off all that Christmas chocolate that’s still around! – but I do know that it’s not the same for everyone. ![]() Personally, I love the month of January with these cosy fireplace moments and with still a chance that it might snow (I live in eternal hope), days where the whole year stretches out in front of you with possibilities and an opportunity to think about what you want to do with your time. No, not at all! My experience of winter is that it’s generally cold, usually wet and often a bit miserable after the Christmas holidays so this is what winter looks like to me. □ You’ve posted a cosy-looking fireplace photo … can you only join in if you live somewhere where the winter is cold? Well, it’s about spending the weeks of January working on projects that we love or something that we want to learn about, it’s about thinking how best we can look after ourselves and others over the coming year, and about using the darker days and nights to recharge our batteries after all the excitement of Christmas and New Year. ![]() □ So what’s it all about then, this Winter Haven KAL? (Don’t worry, it’s not any kind of complicated scavenger hunt, you may well find everything you need around your house!) The KAL starts on 8 January 2021 (next Friday), so I thought that with just under a week to go, it would be a good time to tell you a bit more about it, what’s involved and what you’ll need to gather together to join in. Now that the Christmas and New Year celebrations are over, it seems like just the right time for the Winter Haven KAL – a new KAL (Knit-a-long) for the New Year that everyone can get involved with if you’d like to. We’re here at the very start of 2021 and I am sure I am not alone in hoping that it will be a very different and very much healthier year for everyone!
