I woke up in a cold sweat two nights ago. I woke up to the realization that in less than 4 weeks we are moving and by the time we get to Kentucky, it will be cold. Well, cold for us anyway being Floridians. It will get lots colder very shortly after our arrival and we have no winter clothing. All of a sudden my yarn hobby has become something that should have been on the top of the to do list had I known that we would be living in the North. What’s that you say? Kentucky is the South?? I assure you, to me it’s not.
I started thinking, where oh where I should start to amass a winter wardrobe without going broke on such short notice and with summer clothing still in our stores here in the Sunshine State?? Oh boy am I in trouble. How do you even begin to dress children for winter? How do you keep girls who don’t like to wear pants warm? Suggestions and ideas are all very, very welcome. Please and thank you!
I decided to do what little I could in this department so Christmas presents have been moved to the back burner and I am now in full mode winter knitting. I started a helmet for Matthew which I am designing as I go. Not the fastest way to knit something but I woke up with the idea and just had to go with it. So far I have gotten to the middle of the helmet and am now deciding if I want to make the top square like many helmets I have seen or if I want to go back to knitting it in the round once I get to the top of the head. I guess we will see.
Oh I am using Brambleberry yarn in Meadow and I absolutely love the slight variations of greens and a bit of yellow here and there in the skein. Beautiful and a cheery color to wear in the winter.
I am yarning along again and it is helping me to have an excuse to knit when I really should be packing 😉
I will be back tomorrow with a guest post from my very own momma and poppa with two really yummy recipes which make up the whole of my childhood. You don’t want to miss this one.
Also, don’t forget to enter the giveaway for the Loohoo wool dryer balls, they are wonderful. Giveaway announced on Friday morning.
