I've been having itchy fingers lately and have been wanting to make things. Cute things, wearable things, WINTER THINGS. Fall & winter are my favorite seasons...something about bundling up for the cold or cuddling up with your lover under a hand-crafted afghan on a faux bear rug in front of the crackling fire with a cup of hot cocoa, extra marshmallows of course. Well, not that that's ever happened to me before but a girl can fantasize. So it only makes me a tad bit sad that it doesn't really get that cold in Southern California. BUT, that's not going to stop me from making cute and practical winter wear.
Scarves are a staple in my wardrobe for the cold. My mom always told me to be sure to keep my back and especially my chest/neck area well bundled up. Otherwise, the cold will cause you respiratory problems, mucus build up, hocking coughs, you know all that fun sick stuff. Now, I don't know if there's any truth to this supposed myth, but I do like that warm, fuzzy feeling right there for that much. Another thing I like are things with hoodies. They make your head and face feel all warm and make you look all rosy-cheeked.
