I stay warm by wearing knitted cardigans and curling up on my couch with my dog under a warm and cuddly afghan.
Under an afghan with a cup of hot tea and a sock to knit. Heaven!
Jumping up and down and screaming for more yarn !!!!! I don’t have enough to make all the lovely items that are out there…..baby blankets, hats, mitts, cowls, sweaters for all – lapghans and afghans – Knitting and crocheting for loved ones is how I stay warm !!!!
I stay warm with a hot cup of tea, blanket & my latest knitting project 🙂
I wear layers of clothing and, this winter, hand-sewed the binding on a queen-sized quilt that has taken me 5-6 yrs. to finish. Oh, and, finished several scarves. All in front of our gas fireplace,
I always keep an afghan or quilt on the couch to throw over my legs and a favorite sweater or shawl on my computer chair.
Warm, hand knit socks with a microwave warm pack next to my feet under a lap quilt. My mini poodle snuggles right in! 🙂
I wear hoodies all the time, including under coats!
Drinking hot tea and making mittens out of wool.
Home made sweaters, hot tea and an electric blanekt.
I always wear a warm scarf and warm socks!
Knitting in front if the fireplace as often as possible!
With layers and my Foxy Girl (pup) cuddled up to my side….
Cup of coffee, my favorite knit hat and my beagle cuddling up close…:))
Turn up the thermostat and wear more clothes….
Wool socks are a great comfort!! If my feet stay warm, the rest of me does too!!

Sitting by the fireplace and knitting.
I stay warm with a cozy blanket over my legs, a cup of hot tea on the table and a knitting project in my hands.
Preferably near a yummy warm wood stove, but if not that then yummy warm wool socks under a cozy blanket!

I stay warm in the winter by layering with warm handknit mittens, scarfs, and hats and go outside to play in the snow with my five grandchildren. We also enjoy hot cocoa when we come back inside.

To keep warm in winter here in Florida, I crochet prayer shawls for Halifax Hospice of Volusia and Flagger County.
I wrap up in my knitting blankie and grab my needles, turn on my infrared heater and KNIT!!!
When going outside, I layer up. Start with an old cashmere sweater, vest, knitted wool scarf, knitted felted hat, gloves and coat. Can’t move too fast but at least I am warm. When inside, I sit in my knitting chair and enjoy the pleasure of knitting.
Knitting in my favorite LYS keeps me warm with the laughter of friends.
I love being out side in the winter. add a little snow falling and snowshoeing though the trees its a wonderful feeling. coming in after, having some hot tea, and wrapping yourself in a crocheted blanket you made, now that’s a great day!
curl up on the couch with my knitting and wait for the warmer weather so I can get outdoors and knit some more
