Whatever it Takes

 

I tried to go out the other day in this terrible cold wearing my usual get up and it didn't work so well. I couldn't breathe in that frigid air and I thought my nose was going to fall off. I've found that piling on all of my knitted stuff makes a big difference. Jumbo scarf got a reprieve from the scissors because it was perfect for wrapping up around my face and neck. My old cloth face masks work well too. I also have nice things to say about my unloved Musselburgh hat. I never wear it but I have to say those two layers make it pretty darn warm. I even had to put some woolly mitts under my Lopi mittens to keep my hands warm along with two pair of handspun socks.

And why am I out in this ridiculous weather? That's why. If we don't get her out she's terrible all day and I can't get anything done. She's got a fleece pair of pj's on under the Sherpa lined coat she hates. It's never too cold for her. 

Back at home, needing a stress relief project, I cast on some new socks. You better believe I re-wound and examined every inch of that Felici before I cast them on after the knot debacle with the hat yarn. Never again Knit Picks. Never again.
