But take comfort, for with the snow comes the perfect excuse to cozy up with those you love to stay warm. Gather your partner, your kids, your cats, your dogs, your family and friends. Find a big afghan to hide under and a mug of hot chocolate, or tea, or cafe latte, or hot apple cider, or Irish coffee... you get the picture.
If you are very fortunate, someone who loves you very much will have knit you a warm pair of woolen socks.
And they will have persevered even after they ran out of the wool needed to finish them. They will have tracked down more yarn in Toronto, only to discover the new yarn is thicker and must have some of the threads removed before knitting. But they will do it because they love you. (Or because they are stubborn and refuse to frog the almost-finished socks. Either way, consider yourself blessed.)
[These are mom's socks.]
If you like to crawl on the cool floors a lot, then ask someone to knit you a pair of fingerless mitts to cover your palms. Then you are sure to stay warm.
And if you have cash to spare, you can commission me to knit you a scarf. (Oops, you missed the request date. Try again next year.)
This morning I have cozied up with a mug of yerba latte. Later I'll finish baking gingerbread cookies. I'm considering building a GB house. Or maybe... I just had the perfect idea for Solstice gingerbread. Will share it when I've made it - closer to Solstice.
