Today I have been sitting inside and not going out. This is part of the reason why:
There is a windchill warning, and I just don’t feel like it (it is -27 centigrade and feels like -40 — I don’t need to look up what that is in Fahrenheit as that is almost where they are the same). I am not sure that anywhere in the city is better than right here:
I made myself a nice pot of soup for lunch and continued working on a project with an upcoming deadline, which is the other reason I am not going out. I am still working on it for several reasons, among them that I started these:
They are Mari Muinonen’s Yellow Harvest Mittens from Vogue Knitting, Fall 2008, except of course that mine are red (Hmm, I just noticed there are errata, I wonder if they will affect me yet).
I can’t wait to really get on them when I am done the sweater this weekend.
I really should make myself finish two projects for every one I finish for a while. The number of unfinished projects is getting a little out of hand. I don’t propose to be someone who only knits one thing at a time — for me attempting that would just be silly, but maybe five current projects would be feasible. Now I will just say that I really don’t know how many I am “working on”.

I’m with you there, we made soup yesterday, I knitted, and we stayed inside. Mostly. Lovely sweater in the Knitty by the way! Congrats.

It was just too cold to go out last weekend. Thank you for your compliment about the sweater, I am looking forward to wearing it.
Cheers,
