The temperatures are staring to drop here in Northern Virginia. We are only down to the 40’s in the mornings before pre-school and I know lower temps are only to come.

So, I started freaking out. I need to change out our seasonal wear! Warm coats are too short! Long pants aren’t long. And where did the mittens that fit go?  Changing the seasons means thrift shopping, swapping hand-me-downs, and creating some pieces that require quality like warm hats, durable mittens, and legwarmers.

Out come the knitting needles, the dreams of arm-fulls of wonderful wool yarns, and cascades of colors. And out comes the wonderful headache of sifting through hundreds of patterns to find “just the right one for this season.” This is my start. My knitting fingers are moving swiftly. More swiftly than the temperatures outdoors are dipping, I hope. Will up date with pictures when finished. Hope you are keeping toasty warm out there!
