Tagsa scruffy boy in a spiffy hat
I finished the hat for the boy. And despite grumbling, he allowed me to take a shot of him in it. Note that winter vacation officially began for him on Friday; shaving has gone by the wayside.

damn hat!
Last night the boy and I went over the list of hats I’ve made him. We can account for 5 (I wonder if there was one other, he is adamant there was not). Only one is extant. I hope that the various others that were left on Septa trains found their way to those who needed some warmth.
I essentially finished the newest hat a few hours ago. It was still on the needles, he tried it on, and it was officially too snug. He wants a little more room. OK, I understand that. I’d measured his head and left some give, but he wanted more. So I took it out.
perhaps I’m going out on a limb, but . . .
Sounds like quite a few of you are seriously tempted to make yourself a pair of legwarmers. I enthusiastically endorse this position! Let’s do it!
my own little secret
I finished the legwarmers last night. And I’ve been wearing them all day—even out to the 10:00 showing of a movie (Syriana) last night. My legs were comfy and warm, and no one was the wiser. So though I said I was probably never going to wear these other than to yoga, I discovered that they fit just fine under my boot cut jeans, and I can see myself wearing them all the time. Walking around with them on, I wonder how I ever survived without them. My boyfriend, who actually didn’t laugh or point, but merely said, “Those are kind of ridiculous,” (which I totally agree with) asked if I’ve ever really felt my ankles were cold. The answer to that is YES, making legwarmers the Best. Thing. Ever. I highly recommend.
