QUIET FAMILY TIME

Handknitting pullover
provides winter fun

THE WEEK between Christmas and New Year's, for a lot
of people, is a quiet family time, with evenings spent sitting
before the fire, relaxing and knitting.

Now that all the hustle and bus-
tle of Christmas is behind you, you
finally have time for yourself, and
what better way to spend it than
creating.

There is still lots of cold weather
ahead and you will get months of
wear from the sweater featured
this week.

the pattern are available at: The
