Yep, it is cold and we are taking the severe cold warnings very seriously. We went out to breakfast today, the last day before the super-sub-zero-three-day-blast, and then to the grocery store. Kielbasa, beef roast, potatoes, onions...just what any good Wisconsin grandma needs in her cold weather arsenal. We also are not dumb: we checked our vodka supply and it was seriously close to empty. That was close. I mostly have been in The Green Chair, under an afghan, knitting away. The little mittens are for Benjamin (4) and Addy (almost 2). The big ones are for moi. I will not be wearing any mittens for three days because I plan not to venture out. I hope the little ones do not wear their new mittens either, for the very same reason. The yarn I used is Berroco Peruvia 100% wool (not the washable wool) and I am finding that it felts beautifully. At almost $10 a skein, it is not cheap, but it only takes about 2 for a pair of mittens. $20 and a few days to protect precious hands from frostbite is a bargain. Cheaper than the bottle of Absolut that we bought. Jerilynn
