Folks as I'm typing this scheduled post, I'm sitting with a lapghan on and a fleece. It's cold! It was 16 when I got out of bed this morning with a wind chill making it feel like 8. As you knit and crochet, please double check the tightness of your stitches. With temps and winds like that we need items not to be too open. If you can see through, and or put your fingers through your stitches, please consider bumping down to a smaller size hook/needle in order to get a more solid item.
We'll be going a slightly different direction with our working calendar in the coming year, so please keep checking in.
Do you check the item specific tabs across the top of the blog before you make items? If not, folks please do. It's important we make was is needed.
