Warms socks covered in black and a cup of hot chocolate.
I stay indoors with my knitting, a couple of cats and a wonderful dog and I am warm from the outside clear through to the inside!
Layers of cozy clothes with the prettiest on top and tea or hot chocolate from scratch!
Hot chocolate and knitting a shawl or afghan to cove my legs and keep me warm.
I wear layers. I wear sweaters, socks, leggings, mittess, wristers, and hats I have knitted ong with boots and long johns. Dressing in layers is a good thing, also.
The first thing I do is light a nice cozy fire in our old fire place, grab a cup of hot chocolate and snuggle in my Snuggie.
If it’s really cold out, I wear fleece lined jeans, a turtleneck, then a thick sweater over it, two pairs of socks (wool preferably), and my hiking boots. Then, a leather coat to my knees, a scarf, hat and mittens that I’ve made myself.
Inside or out????
That’s easy! Stay inside with a cup of hot tea or cocoa & my newest knitting project.
One word: layers. And something hand-knit on hands, feet, head, and neck. I’ve only made one pair of socks for myself in the 4 years I’ve been knitting, but they changed my perspective on what socks should feel like!
I wear socks, beanies, and wrap up in blankets or my cats will go to sleep in my lap. Tey keep me really warm especially the male cat–he generates a lot of heat. Usually, I’m working on an afghan during the winter months and that also keeps me really warm as well.
I wear a hat and gloves. Also I dress in layers.
Start the wood stove, put on my warm knitted socks and knitted sweater hot cup of tea and cuddle up with my dogs
Stay inside!
I wear cuddleduds, turtlenecks and layers – scarf, mittens – just pile it on.
Layering is no myth. Wool socks, short sleeves, long sleeves, fleece vest, pants with leggings underneath, scarf, hat, ski gloves. Let’s go shovel Philly snow!
We’re in the south, so layers it is…. If we have to trek outside. If we can stay inside we gratefully use the modern invention of central heat, a cup of hot cocoa and snuggle up on the couch with warm blanket.
I bundle up and get the car started at least 15 minutes before I have to leave, so my hands won’t go numb scraping the windshield. At home or at work, I wear sweaters on top and slippers on my feet, and drink a LOT of hot coffee/tea/hot chocolate.
Wear my wool shawl, bundle up in a quilt and sit near the wood stove.
I snuggle up with my blanket, my hot tea, my bunnies and my knitting 🙂
A scarf and warm socks!
Coffee, very hot, homemade soup, also very hot. Layers of warm clothing, electric blanket on high.
Curled up under a soft warm crochetted or knitted blanket, warm socks,layers of clothes,cup of hot chocolate, bowl of chicken soup and snuggled with my love….or kids or grandkids in front of a blazing fire…
sit by the woodstove while working on an afghan
I prefer to stay inside with hot chocolate and a set of needles or a crochet hook but if i do have to venture outside it’s layers I find that hand knitted hats scarves gloves and socks are the warmest so I always leave a set by the door so they are quick to grab
Lots of coffee and scarves!
Footie PJs, hot cocoa, fireplace, and a blanket keep me quite cozy during the cold times.
My go to knitted items when it is cold outside are my woolen handknit items, sweater, shawl, fingerless mitts, socks, mukluks, and for added warmth I knit afghans.
A nice cozy chunky knit blanket and a big cup of tea!
Wool and/or down EVERYTHING to keep warm this winter!
A warm chunky scarf!!!!!
Staying warm most definitely involves a wool from tip to toe, preferably something hand-knit.

I have a lovely lap blanket knit by my daughter that I use to cuddle up and stay warm. And sometimes a nice cup of hot chocolate.
I stay inside with a cup of my favorite flavored coffee and my knitting. Is there any other way? 🙂
Lots of layers! Trouser socks under footless tights, with woolly socks overlapping the ankles; topped with trousers. Always two shirts, one knit (commercially made turtleneck) under something dressier. Fingerless mitts over gloves or under bigger mittens. I am the Layering Queen!
With a hot cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate, a warm snuggly blanket (homemade of course) and some thick warm socks. 😀
Snuggle up with a nice hot cup of tea and my latest knitting project(s) and catch up on my TV programs
Large warm dogs.

I have my cup of hot coffee and try my hand at knitting a pair of wool mittens from a knit along course using three colors of yarn. New knitting ventures energizes so I stay warm in the out of door cold air; and now my thoughts are turned to learning to knit socks.
I just started the most adorable purse last night. Can’t wait to see it when I have it finished.
I have Raynaud’s Syndrome (the blood vessels in my fingers & toes constrict, cutting off blood flow) so I avoid going out when it’s really cold. Luckily, I’m retired, so I can stay in.
Cuddling up, as I write this, with gingerbread coffee, my favorite blanket, some cashmere yarn on the needles and a cat in my lap….not much better, whether it is cold or not.

I’m bundled up like nanook of the north. I have a long down coat, thick shearling gloves, a scarf wrapped around my face, and when it’s really bitter I wear a wool hat. Most days I don’t bother with the hat though because once I put a hat on I have “hat head” and static cling the rest of the day. It’s not worth the aggravation of having a headful of hair stuck to my face all day long.
curled up under a warm blanket with slouchy socks with a book in front of the fire
Hand knit worsted weight wool socks in sandals or loose waterproof boots
Oh my gosh how I LOVE this pair of socks!! What an awesome book!! I stay warm by putting on my thicker hand knit socks, knit (sometimes crochet), watch a movie or so ;-), head knit blanket covering me, and a warm drink (specialty, hot chocolate, or tea).

How do I stay warm? I stay inside, part of the time with a cat in my lap. When I have to go out, I put on knee-length petti-pants under my slacks, my Land’s End jacket, and a wool scarf around my heads & neck. That way, I’m only cold from my knees down. I do have some knee socks, but they are only just over my calf–that’s what I get for having long legs. I’ll just have to knit myself some that are long enough. My Land’s End jacket is so warm that I can’t wear it if it’s over 32 F.
Fire in the fireplace and knitting on my lap.
On cold days I love to snuggle down in a comfortable chair wearing my favourite heavy

There’s nothing better than coming indoors from fun in the crisp cold snow to a cup of steaming hot chocolate and some fun knitting relaxing in my comfy chair near a crackling fire in our stone fireplace!!

This year, so thankfully, I invested in a down coat and some great boots, both which are warm to -45 degrees about, and that more than came in handy this frigid season.
