Stay warm today!

  I’m covered in wool today too — except mine is the loose and potentially tangled kind as I wrap up some last minute knitting.  Then there’s the last minute sewing to do.  You look nicely relaxed up there!

    It only lasted a moment. I finally caved and learned how to knit. *sigh* so relaxing!
