It’s been a cold, snowy week in much of Colorado, great for wearing hand knits! Today I ventured out, briefly, in my Stonecutter’s Cardigan, Graham hat, Oh Deer mitts, and Snicket socks. (And jeans and a t-shirt and a puffy coat, but I didn’t make those things.)
The blog’s been really quiet—not because I haven’t been knitting (I’m super close to joining the sleeves and knitting the yoke of my Plum Rondo!), but because I’ve been busy and easily distracted. I’m hoping to get back on track with updating in February—not that anything will be less busy, but I like feeling the sense of accomplishment that I get when I blog. No, it’s not climbing Everest, but some days it feels that way.
Anyway, if it’s cold and/or snowy where you are (and that seems to be most of the states right now!), here are some patterns to start knitting! Pro tip: Yarn in the lap keeps you warmer than yarn in the stash.
