It is cold out here in Iowa City, Iowa. There is snow on the ground and we have a wind that is so fierce it makes you wonder how the prairie ever got settled. It is the time of year when knitters can really contribute to the greater good of their community and family by knitting hats and mittens and scarves. Don't worry if you live somewhere warm, you poor souls, knitted goods travel well. Box them up and send them to the colder communities. We'll put them to good use.
