It hasn’t
gone by unnoticed: the days are becoming shorter and it seems to be getting
colder every single day. Winter is approaching.
I like
winter. What I like most about winter is the idea of the winter season. Staying
inside with the heater on, a cup of hot cocoa clasped in your hands and ready
to relax with a nice book…
That’s
great and all… but how do you protect yourself when it’s time to step outside
of the house?
Scarves. I have been obsessing lately over scarves. And,
even though I’m not a pro, I like knitting and crocheting scarves. They’re
relatively easy to make and it’s a very affordable hobby.
Below are two scarves that I crocheted. I used about one and a quarter
ball of yarn for the green one. For the red scarves I used two balls of yarn at
the same time, so it’s much thicker. I sewed the ends together to create an
infinity scarf. For both I used a 10cm crochet hook.
Hand warmers. Hand warmers are great. I found
one in a shop not too long ago and just fell in love with it. It also came with
a cute knit pouch. These hand warmers are great if you have to spend a great
deal outside (read: waiting for a train to arrive). After the first use, you’ll
have to immerse it in hot water for about 10 minutes, and then let it cool
before you can reuse it again.
There are plenty of other things that could
keep you warm during winter time. What about knitted hats with cute pompoms attached
to the top, or gloves / mittens that can keep you warm? Right now I’m working
on another scarf. This time I’m knitting one:
It’s supposed to be a Harry Potter related
scarf (Gryffindor)! I’m really excited for it. I’m hoping I can finish it this
year… the sooner I’m done, the sooner I get to wear it, haha. How are you
planning to get through the cold?
Liefs,
Minkaos
Ps. My first blog entry ^^!
