Sorry for my silly photos here. Snow is still such a huge novelty to me, you see. I can't stop marvelling at it. It seems like such amazing and magical stuff! and maybe it puts me in a kinda loopy mood ;) I never even saw snow until I was in my late 20's, and first put on a pair of skis at the age of 36. Meaning, I'll never be anything more than a really slow and cautious skiier, but I still love it! My quads are killing me, but!!
Now for the point of this post: hand-warmers. Bright ones! Highlighter hand-warmers! These are brand new, fresh off the 2mm bamboo dpn's. I lost my ultramarine blue arm-warmers last year, I've searched and searched and searched, in vain (massive sad-face). No time for moping but; I needed some more, pronto! These were cast off in the nick of time to be pressed into immediate service…. :)
They are basic tubes knitted in the round with a gap for my thumbs, using Morris and Sons 4ply merino wool. The colourway, Sheen (col419) is kind of a whoa! in-your-face colour, like a hi-vis construction worker vest. In my present surroundings though, I'm considering that to be a plus. If I get stuck and incapacitated in a snowdrift I can just stick my arm up, and the arm-warmers will be like a beacon for the rescue crew. In-built safety feature!
Ahem; and now, a silly little haiku…

Momentarily.
Hmmm, okaaaay then…. Poetry has never been my forte ;)
