I love it. It may not be the most flattering thing I’ve ever worn, but I love it. It’s warm. I mean, W-A-R-M and that’s good. And it’s very comfy. And cozy. And I adore the colorway. All in all, an a++.
I’ve decided that I need to knit things that will keep me from freezing to death. Like hats, scarves, mittens. A couple of days ago I knitted a Silk Garden Hat which has helped immensely. And now I’m knitting up a cozy cabled scarf with my white alpaca. mmmm. sooo soft. I am also going to knit the Broadstreet Mittens, too. I just need to decide if I want to order some yarn for them or use stash yarn. Decisions, decisions.
Okay. So you might have noticed that I changed my blog a little bit. I’m playing a little. I think I like this template, but I need to play around with it a bit to make it just right. Let me know if you totally hate it and you want me to do something different. Or if you see anything wonky, or whatever other opinion you might have.
Have a fantastic weekend!
