What is UP with this crazy weather?
I swear, if it weren't for all the (mostly cashmere) accessory knitting I've done recently, I might have died on Wednesday. Seriously. Only a slight exaggeration. When I left the house on Wednesday morning, the weather was a normal 34 degrees, so I wore my heavy winter coat over a tshirt, my cashmere hat and leather gloves. By the time I left work at 6:30 pm, the temperature had dropped to below 20 degrees and it was all I could do not to visibly shiver all the way home . . . which, when I got there, I added 2 layers and headed right on back out the door to an appointment. By the time we came home, the temperature was hovering around 10 degrees, and I was having trouble walking (my joint problems act up when it's really cold). Thursday morning I awoke to 12 degrees and windy, and reloaded with even more handknits . . .
If you see someone waddling (or frankly, limping) down Amsterdam Ave, wearing a navy blue coat you can barely see because she's also wearing a Koigu shawl, a mismatched multicolored hat, herringbone mittens, AND a cowl? Be nice to her. That's me.
(BTW the weather says we're going up to 60 early next week. WTF is going on??)

Only my handspun chunky cashmere neckwarmer saved me yesterday. Hard to understand the weather swings.
