I bought only the essential supplies for a weekend down the mountain ... Caffe La'ffare coffee, gingernuts and mulled wine mix (yes a pre-mix cos although homemade does taste best - I just want to sit after a day on the hill, not stand in the kitchen) ...
and I took a great new knitting project to start once my legs are too sore from skiing all day.
CH joined me for a couple of days and we headed up top of Whakapapa - here we on the West Ridge looking at Ngauruhoe and Tongariro. Right behind us we could see all the way to Taranaki it was such a clear day.
I started the collared cardi from She Knits by Cleckheaton.
The weather gods were with me everyday and the runs like K Road never looked so quiet - the joys of midweek skiing.

I also finished the DK Smoothie cardi - yes that's 2 adult projects finished by moi and I'm keen to get some photos up to show you.
