Day 6 - Still cold and I need boots!

6 degrees today and it is cold. People have been coming in looking for yarn for those, 'I have put it off too long' and 'what can I get done fast' Christmas Presents. And there have been some who are upgrading the presents to something warmer. They made some cute little thing and realize a nice set of warm wool or alpaca mittens, hat and scarf will be better.

Personally I am looking at having some warm vests and wrist warmers. But then it helped when I remembered that I hadn't uncovered the heat vents in the shop since putting displays over them last Spring. But I really need new boots, ones with treads and warm linings. My years old Sorrel's are still in good shape but they are so heavy. My legs have gotten older in the last 30 years and they don't lift weights like they used to. I looked for some last Tuesday and was shocked at the price, the lack of warm linings and no treads at all. I guess it is time for me to bite the bullet and buy Steger mukluks. Just checked their website and they are less expensive then any of the wimpy boots that I saw at the mall. Good!

People have been really excited about the Universal Classic and Delux yarns. How nice to have people like them. I have a ball of their Moods yarn. I added the photo in the color way that I am sampling. I am actually knitting a hat with it. It is a wool/acrylic blend and feels great. I think that people will really like it. Okay, so I haven't finished the edge of the wrap, I will get it done soon...and the sweater in Teddy and the vest for Kathryn and some doll clothes....yes I will! Oh and the baby sweater too, lets stop there before I remember too much.
