I'm a closet Winter-Lover (we're outnumbered by Overt Complainers) and especially like watching the snowfall as seen over the edge of a cup of cocoa...with knitting and cat in lap, of course, and delicious book nearby.

It would add a very nice sot of karma to my knitting room/office, because every time I looked at it, I would remember the thing that is really important on life: creating moments of peace. I like the way that's depicted in this drawing, with knitting. I've always thought that knitting is a sort of meditation. I know I always feel more peaceful when I'm knitting.<BR/><BR/>Even if you don't ever intend to sell this as a print, I'm glad I got to see it here. :-)CP Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15536523200461430763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-22979987202289513392008-12-14T12:42:00.000-05:002008-12-14T12:42:00.000-05:00would you consider offering this print for sale? ...would you consider offering this print for sale? it is wonderful.....Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02724253808486789301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-52309588459065366382008-12-14T12:36:00.000-05:002008-12-14T12:36:00.000-05:00I would add:Wrapping chilled hands around a warm c...I would add:<BR/>Wrapping chilled hands around a warm cup of tea/hot cocoa.<BR/><BR/>(the word verification for this comment was inatesti though whether the spaces should be placed thus: in a test i; or like so: in a testi; is yet to be decided.)Quasipsycohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08246940283500417947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-69769131993031175162008-12-14T10:03:00.000-05:002008-12-14T10:03:00.000-05:00hehe. love the "labels".Lose the bullets and it's ...hehe. love the "labels".<BR/>Lose the bullets and it's a list poem.<BR/><BR/>Oh and that drawing!if it's ever for sale...Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06846965449585354190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-10305502336566823292008-12-14T08:27:00.000-05:002008-12-14T08:27:00.000-05:00That's a great list and a wonderful book.That's a great list and a wonderful book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-4277091029997281452008-12-14T08:24:00.000-05:002008-12-14T08:24:00.000-05:00How wonderful.Thanks for describing winter so poet...How wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for describing winter so poetically.soxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16603414322310747612noreply@blogger.com
