These are the arm warmers I just finished! I'm very proud--it's my first time knitting in the round (without a loom to help me out), the first time I've done stripes, the first time I put a hole in my knitting, AND the first time I made something get bigger as I went! Whew! They're nice and warm, though, and the woolen fibers help keep the chill of the 30 mph winds off my wrists. My long arms were freezing from the inadequacies of long sleeves made for people with short arms. I had wrist burn. It wasn't pleasant. I do, however, fervently wish I had more time for the knitting. I'm now officially addicted. Mreow!

Very Fancy!
...and a good skill to have in a cold climate! Soon you will be making blankets and slippers for all!
BTW it looks so beautiful where you guys are - nice to see the pictures... I've always wondered what squirrel tasted like... my dad once told me a story of when he was on a camping trip when he was younger, his friend and him were flinging rocks with a sling shot and accidentally (yeah right) hit a squirrel in a near by tree.
It fell to the ground DOA, and they didn't want it to be a waste, so made the decision to put it on the spit above the fire, and then down the hatch it went!
