my favorite thing to knit in the winter (being I am so new to knitting even at my age) is scarves/cowls/neckwarmers. I am so pleased to be able to take a chance on this package! I shall keep my fingers crossed and thank you for offering nor only a wonderful package but an exciting book too.
I love to make all different kinds of things at the same time. Changing projects with different needle size and different levels of concentration keeps me busy knitting for hours at a time. For instance, I’m working on one of two afghans for my twin niece and nephew graduation in May, I am working on a sweater for my dad, I am making dishcloths to replenish my inventory of gifts to have on hand (also need to make some for myself as I badly need to retire some of the ones in my drawer to the rag pile) , some ruffle scarves to have ready for gifts, and last a pair of socks. I also want to start on some knitted dolls, hats for community service, and a shawl when I decide on matching yarn and pattern. So much to do!
Love to make different ongoing projects at same time
Scarfs and head bands

My favorite thing to knit in winter is anything anyone in my family asks for . . . which then makes them beg me to sit and knit so I get it done for them. Yeah, that’s the ticket! So bring on those cowls, slouchy hats, shmooshy socks, let’s make my family happy.
anything really, as long as i am knitting and can carry it with me………
I’ve been making hooded scarves, and beret style hats.

I love afghans and scarves and enjoy working on both. I am also interested in prayer shawls for several people who are going through some tough times now. Too many things to do and not enough time to do them.
well, I’m just a rookie chick with sticks, but based upon my *only* winter, it’s been hats, moebius (infinity) scarves to cozy up on our necks, and shorter cowls, worn much like old fashioned dickies. Because we both have perpetually cold feet, I really want to learn to make SOCKS for my Mom and myself.

I am new at knitting, so of course the first thing I knitted was a scarf for myself. Straight knit and purl. I hope to graduate soon to a little more intricate pattern. So I guess I have to say my favorite thing to knit in the winter is a scarf.
I love knitting scarves
My favorite things to knit are items for other people. This fall I knitted several scarves and put them in a beautiful Christmas gift bag. At gift exchange time everyone picked the scarf they wanted. We have 5 kids that live next door and they have adopted us as grandparents! So of course I am busy making things that they “need” – a scarf for the school Christmas program, Denver Bronco hats for the football season, a purse for little girl treasures, a hat with jingle bells on it to wear singing Christmas carols. In between the larger projects I make little gift bags and fill them with the hotel soap, shampoo, conditioner and lotions that my husband brings home from traveling for work. We donate these to a domestic violence shelter. Tomorrow my little girl neighbor will be here for the day so I know I will have a new favorite thing to knit then.

Afghans and gloves!
I love to knit afghans in the winter because they keep me warm as they curl up on my lap. I also like to make heavier sweaters, because knitting them in the summer is just too darn hot!

I love to knit cozy winter wear, hats, cowl, scarfs, sweaters.
Cowls and shawls.
I love making cowls, scarves and infinity wraps with luxurious yarns. After the madness of Christmas, it’s nice to whip up elegant projects for family and friends – and nothing is nicer than a lofty alpaca or silky roving yarn on the cold winter hands. They’re always a nice surprise for someone experiencing a bit of the winter blahs.
Socks, scarves and cowls.
Anything large and/or heavy, like a throw or a huge sweater. But I find myself knitting several hats and cowls lately too! Aww… who am I kidding?? I love to knit anything, anywhere, anytime!

Mittens and cowls!
love knitting scarves in winter. Next year I am trying mittens.
My favorite thing to do in Winter is to try out new yarns. Winter has so many opportunities for one skein tryouts. Hats, mittens, scarves, and many more items only take one skein and it’s so fun to try something new!

Beanies! Because they are fast to knit and so cozy to wear.
Sweaters, cowl, and ear warmers
For winter, I love working with soft and fluffy fibers. I don’t think it really matters to me what the project is, just as long as I’m knitting. Cowls and shawls would be top of my list.
I love knit anything I can get my hands on! LOL It just all depends on what looks good to me at the time or if I’m traveling so that it’s portable.
Socks, socks and socks! And maybe cowls. And a hoodie.
This winter I’ve made cozy colorful blankets and stuffed toys for each of the kids, cowls for their teachers, a sweater or two (or maybe 3) for me… A coat for the dog (though that’s not quite finished…. but close). I feel like I should start focusing on the warm weather items so they are ready to enjoy, but this weather has me sticking with cozy comforts.
Anything!!!!!! ok and anything for Baby 🙂
During Winter, Love to knit after lunch. Have a cup of warm coffee and my Korean Drama with any knitting that easy to follow. No mind knitting. Wish that knitting can reduce tongs of calories.
Living in Florida usually means lightweight things, but in the winter, I still knit blankets, scarves, cowls – and then give them as gifts! This cowl is just beautiful and I could see my sister in NH wearing it to keep out that Polar cold! 🙂

Ooops! Should have said “time…”.

Fingerless gloves, neck warmers, ear muffs, infinity scarves, möbius scarves, socks and sweaters. I’m a texture person, so I usual embellish patterns with combinations of yarns and I only buy the best so it feels good as it passes through my fingers and looks good when I’ve finished my project and give it away. I keep a few pieces, but usually give it all away to my family, friends or just somebody who needs it.
Long cowls that can be wrapped for a head cover too as needed.
I love to knit for other people.
Cowls would have to win.

Blankets/Thows – they can keep you warm while you knit them!
I’d love to say that it’s getting a head start on Christmas projects for next year, but that’s never the case. I’m usually trying to finish up things that didn’t get done, or trying to speed knit and pair of socks for my brother’s March birthday. What I love to knit in the winter is something from a class. Having those 6-8 weeks really helps me speed through the cold dreary months and I end up with something I might not have attempted on my own!
Scarves. I love wrapping up in them on a cold day!

Sweaters for myself! I am always warm and toasty! I also love to knit for my 3 yr old nephew, he looks good in everything and is excited when he finds out I made it. 🙂
This winter, I am loving working on an aran sweater. Sweaters are such good winter projects because I don’t mind having all the knitted fabric on my lap, and there are so many long evenings to fill with knitting.
I don’t have a preference. I enjoy knitting whatever project strikes my fancy any time of year.
Socks!
I have found that I love to knit cowls …. especially a pattern that the cowl can also be pulled up to cover my head … I think they are called Snoods? Being a hospice nurse, I won’t accidentally leave something like a hat/scarf at a patient’s home

Winter’s a good time for afghans, because then you stay warm while you knit!

Scarves and cowls!!!!
So far this winter I’ve knit dishcloths, 3 scarfs, leg warm/boot accent, half way done with a poncho. It’s nice to keep busy with something.
I’m looking out my window at the gently falling snow and thinking my next project will be a cowl as spring is not about to arrive any time soon. Usually I would be working on winter gear, afghans or comfort shawls but with the arrival of my first grandchild recently I’ve been happily producing baby burrito blankets.

What’s you favorite thing to knit in the winter? I come from three generations of hand knitters. My grandmother (born in Great Britain) knitted, my mother (born in Vancouver, British Colombia) knitted, and I knit. My favorite thing to knit in the winter is a simple knitted hat, scarf, or sweater. I would love to share the tradition of hand knitting with my eighteen year old daughter. Like her mother, she was born in America, however, she is also American Indian. The Diamond Cowl designed by Kristen Ashbaugh-Helmreich would be absolutely perfect!

I love to knit prayer shawls for the sick and shut in, or anyone needing to feel closer to God. A familiy that I gave my last one to, used the shawl during a prayer of thanksgiving after the father walked away from a head-on collision. It provided warmth and safety for his young son. I will continue to knit and bless prayer shawls until I can’t.
I like to try new to me things this time of the year. I learned to knit socks. Right now it is cabbage patch hats for babies and also adults, next right now is slipper boots for all ages.
Headbands and scarves!
Love to knit afghans in the winter. They warm twice, once for the knitter and once for the recipient!.

My favorite things to knit in the winter are hats. I really like to knit beanies for the kids. It takes very little time and does not take a lot of attention from keeping up with the kids.
I’ve been knitting ear warmers. My family in the Pacific Northwest love them.
Whatever I’ve decided the grandchildren are getting for Christmas. This year it’s blankets.
