My mum, brother & boyfriend have been wearing things I made them, and so have I. I've been wearing my oops-that's-way-too-big super cosy cardi around the house, woolly socks (handknit, of course) and a hat I crocheted when I leave it.
However, I've noticed a real gap in my collection: MITTENS and A HUGE SCARF. I've been alternating between a scarf my grandma made me and one from H&M and my gloves were – yep – store bought too. I've got plenty of dainty, lacy efforts for warmer winter days but I need to dig out my 20mm needles, double strand some yarn and cast on something like a duvet to wear around my neck!
I'm also on a quest for the perfect mitten pattern – flip top would be ideal, but it needs to have no colourwork or fancy bits – otherwise I won't have it finished by the next once-in-a-lifetime cold snap – so suggestions are really welcome!
Are your handknits enjoying the snow?
