Why not knit yourself or others warm for next winter, start this year to prepare for your winter next year, you will be so glad you did.

That beautiful hand knitted blanket you can curl up under after a cold day. The warm scarf, hat and gloves (if you have those skills for gloves or in my case wrist warmers) that will keep you toasty and warm. The cardigan to keep you layered up. The first worst attempt at a hideous Christmas jumper. The warm leg warmers that don’t quite fit right. The skirt that looks very elfy, that you then decide to make an outfit to match with…

Go on do it.
