    For me it's the opposite. Autumn and winter is when I get things done outside because it's too warm in summer. In autumn all the bugs disappear as well, which is perfect for work in the forest. Did you ever trace that spring? I believe you mentioned at some point that your pond was getting a bit low.

    I think the designer of that sweater should be mentioned (kind though it was of Theadora to make it!) - it's Linka Neumann, a Norwegian knitting designer who has popularised this pawprint pattern and has published several books of wonderful sweaters, predominantly made in Icelandic and Norwegian wool.
