We had a high of 18° today, and normally the cold weather doesn't both me. Today, however, I could not get my hands to warm up. That meant that my fingers would not cooperate with my thread and shuttle. Still, I did manage to tat a little.
Since my hands weren't cooperating, I decided to try crochet. It was slow going, but I did manage to finish the cowl I started the other day.
Since the crocheting was going so well, I decided to start another. It's been fun giving these away, especially since it's been pretty cold here!
Handy to be able to do more than one craft!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is!
DeleteFare dei lavoretti è sempre rilassante e poi per chi riceve qualcosa di fatto a mano è sempre una immensa gioia
ReplyDeleteYes, it is... joy for both the giver and the receiver!
DeleteI missed your blog posts when you took some time off.
ReplyDeleteI guess I just got out of the habit of blogging, and I missed recording many of the fun projects I completed in the past year.
DeleteEighteen degrees? Wow, that IS cold! My hands (and elbows) ached something awful for several days, and we were much 'warmer' than 18 degrees (mid- to upper-30s one day, high-40s/low-50s yesterday). I wasn't near as productive as you managed to be! Gorgeous cowls - I'm sure everyone you give one to will be delighted with your thoughtfulness.

It's all relative! My daughter in Minnesota was happy that the temperature rose to 3 degrees yesterday.
DeleteThose cowls look nice and warm!
