Especially because they had decided to silence the churchbells after November 11th. We lived here almost the life of the farmers of Onoz, a little village in the French Jura. We did have a well equiped kitchen, and because we for once had time enough we made the most delicious dishes. And&#8230; we hiked.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Grand Montrond\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yvonnep\/3054944411\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"articleimg\" title=\"Grand Montrond\" src=\"https:\/\/www.philippa.nl\/yvonnep\/wp-images\/jura1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\u00a0We made wonderful trips \u00e0 pied and with the car. We saw quite a lot of the Jura. On the whole the weather was good, sometimes even lovely with sun and some snow. We only had two days of rain. Not bad at the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a title=\"Soie\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yvonnep\/3055130955\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"articleimgleft\" title=\"Soie\" src=\"https:\/\/www.philippa.nl\/yvonnep\/wp-images\/soie.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\u00a0I even found some great yarn: <a title=\"colours of Phildar Soie\" href=\"http:\/\/www.phildar.com\/fils-et-aiguilles\/fil.aspx#AM\" target=\"_blank\">Phildar Soie <\/a>that comes in shades of grey. Very difficult to photograph and very subtle. Even the colours on the online shop aren&#8217;t correct. It&#8217;s beautifully soft and I plan to make the Raha Scarf from <a title=\"Knitted Lace of Estonia - the book\" href=\"http:\/\/www.interweave.com\/knit\/books\/Knitted_Lace_Estonia\/\" target=\"_blank\">Knitted Lace of Estonia <\/a>by Nancy Bush.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I frogged a lot. Firm decisions. There is too little knitting time to go for imperfect projects or otherwise things that aren&#8217;t the way you like it. I knitted a lot on Mart&#8217;s Sweater, which is coming out fine. It&#8217;s from pure Alpaca and he was very amazed to see the animals when they made the front page of the papers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a title=\"Mad Trinidad Weaver Socks\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yvonnep\/3055131191\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"articleimg\" title=\"Close up of a mad weaver\" src=\"https:\/\/www.philippa.nl\/yvonnep\/wp-images\/mad1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>I finished one of these <a title=\"Mad Weaver socks\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/projects\/yvonnep\/mad-color-weave\" target=\"_blank\">Mad Weaver Socks<\/a>\u00a0(Ravelry link). They look very complicated but just do as the pattern says and it&#8217;s a piece of cake. Only thing is that they are so very small, but they will be just right for my little cousin. The yarn is great. It&#8217;s hand dyed Trekking, colour Trinidad, and it&#8217;s wonderful to knit with. It feels like it will be great socks to wear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u00a0<a title=\"Victory for the dryad\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yvonnep\/3054203492\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"articleimgleft\" title=\"Victory of the dryad in Paris\" src=\"https:\/\/www.philippa.nl\/yvonnep\/wp-images\/victoriekl2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a> I finished <a title=\"Victory for the dryad on Ravelry\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/projects\/yvonnep\/victorie\" target=\"_blank\">these<\/a>\u00a0(Ravelry link). This was knitting with handicaps. One of my harmony needles broke on them and though those needles come in six because you never know, I couldn&#8217;t find that sixth needle. I really should have used a bigger size needles than 2.5 (european) for this yarn from <a title=\"Gerda's Wolwereld\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wolwereld.nl\/zsw\/index-zsw.html\" target=\"_blank\">Gerda&#8217;s Wolwereld<\/a>. They don&#8217;t feel at all like a nice wear, but surprise, surprise, they are great on the feet and, thanks to the pattern, are a great fit too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Well, that&#8217;s it, folks.
