I made this tunic for Maia's good pal for her birthday a couple weeks ago, thinking that she'd not get a wear out of it for awhile. It must have been prescience on my part, though, as we seem to have skipped autumn and moved right onto winter. Today never made it out of single figures (that's in the thirties and forties if you prefer fahrenheit). At least there is velveteen to keep the small folk cozy.
It's too soon for this malarkey, and I have the purple hand-claws to prove it. Let be British for a moment and discuss the weather. How is it in other parts or the world? Unseasonably cold, unexpectedly warm, or just as you have learned to expect?
It's 67F here and we're getting out the winter clothes finally! It was in the high 80'sF last week. I hate my location.
ReplyDeleteWell don't ring social services but I am yet to put the heating on here. I didn't think it was *that* cold last night until I had to scrape the ice off the car this morning to go to work....
ReplyDeleteWe've had to put our heat for an hour three times a day for the last couple of weeks, but our house is ridiculously cold all of the time.
ReplyDeleteOur weather is almost random right now. We had an unseasonably hot spell, followed by "normal" weather for about a week. Then unseasonably cold for a week. Then unseasonably hot for a week. And now it's "normal." I'm having trouble getting back into shorts and tanks, though. I was all prepped to be in jeans for awhile.
ReplyDeleteOne of my students described our current weather pattern perfectly : "If depression was ever expressed as weather, this would be it."
ReplyDeleteIt's cold (43 degrees F.), windy, rainy, gray, and yuck. This is the kind of weather that just makes you want to stay home and vegetate. And eat copious amounts of soup.
It's extremely cold here in London. I had to buy an emergency cardigan on Tuesday. As a knitter I'm sort of embarrassed to admit that, but there it is. Either buy a cardigan right now or freeze. I bought. And we have our heating on. But it's beautifully sunny at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThe US Northwest Coast has been unseasonably warm for fall until this last week. Chilly! I only turn my furnace on in the morning to keep the house at least 60F, but I think that's going to be extended very soon.
ReplyDeleteAfternoon fellow purple handed one!! I'm in gloves. And I am on the Isle of Wight. Very far south. Methinks we could all be in for a hard winter!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty, what a gorgeous shape for a little girl.
