Keeping the family warm

The weather's been great for wearing handknits. Last weekend we went skating, and for the first time ever, I decided to wear my Norwegian Stockings. They are too thick to wear with boots, but just perfect with skates, and they kept my feet nice and warm. And stylish too, which is important especially when your skating skills leave a little something to be desired.



Onni skated too – obviously we both need some more practice. :-)



I've been on a smaller knits kick lately. I've knit a neckwarmer for mom (because she liked mine):
