Usually I really look forward to the Australian summer; crickets, cicadas, long nights, bbqs, beer, friends... but this year somehow my head's not quite there. I've been carting these Toast UK catalogues around for the last month and I've been obsessing over the images. I'm not quite sure why. Maybe it's because I've been thinking so much about what I'm going to knit for next winter. Maybe I've been reading too many northern hemisphere blogs and ignoring my own surroundings. Maybe it's the erratic Melbourne weather that didn't really deliver a very cold winter but has been very gloomy lately (but thank goodness for the rain). Maybe it's because I'm dying to get to Europe but not really sure when it's going to happen. Anyway, who knows. I think that I think too much. Here are some of my favourites.
