winter walk

We had beautiful weather this past weekend, and took the opportunity to get out for a walk in a local park. I'm so glad we remembered to take the camera.



Mr. Mitten showing off the gloves I knit for his birthday a couple weeks ago.



Daddy and munchkin, all cozy to keep out the cold.



The snow was just right to show how busy the squirrels have been.



The sky was the most perfect shade of blue.



I loved the contrast of golden dry grass, dark brown trees, blue sky, and white snow.



I enjoyed wearing my Russian valenki (they're very comfy and easy to walk in,
once I take the rubber galoshes off).

I love those boots! Looks like a great day out. We tried to make the most of the snow while it was here but it melted away fairly quickly.
Great photos!

Ouuu what yarn did you use for those gloves? I love them. Those boots look mighty comfy as well... and cozy, much cozier then the sneaker full of snow I just got shoveling the 1/2 foot of snow off my van that we got last night, LoL!

I was wondering about the yarn for the gloves, too. Very pretty...err, manly:)

The gloves are knit from Zauberball Crazy, colourway 1564 (I think). It's very nice yarn to knit with too, besides being so colourful! http://www.skacelknitting.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.39954/.f
