Warmth. It is called warmth. It is a different kind of warmth than warm from your furnace heating the air around you. It is different than baking under a warm sun. It is a soft surrounding warmth. It is a caring warmth even though it is a inanimate thing. But I feel it every single day when I put wool on.
Today I am wearing the striped socks I knit in advent. These socks just make me feel happy. I love these simple stripes. And they are comfy and warm. No cold feet when you wear wool socks.
And I am wearing my comfortable Leisl sweater knitted a good long while ago.
The chunky yarn it is made in is one of the nicest things I have worked with. And one of he nicest things I have to wear. I knit a vest out of another colourway I had and in the depths of my stash, I have one more sweater quantity. I am going to keep it safe for a special sweater. I have no idea what that special treasure will be, but I know I am going to like it.
I do wish I had some handknit wool pants, but I just do not the body to knit pants for. That is just never going to happen. I still like to dream of them.
Much of this deep thinking about what I wear is because my stash is sitting where it is more visible. I see it all dozens of times a day. That leads to a lot of dreaming and desire to knit and I like that. It is all just possibilities. Of sweaters. Of shawls. Of blankets. Oh yes, even blankets. There are a world of things I would love to make. It makes me deeply warm and happy to see it all, waiting for me.
And these are the thoughts I have before coffee. It is time to go find something interesting to do. Linger or Utkiek? I don't know. But whatever it is, I am going to enjoy it.

I took a look at the Linger pattern and I like it. I hadn't seen Knitty for a long time so had a lot of fun looking through all the patterns again. The Liesel sweater you made is a beautiful sweater. Once again the colour selection is great. Fay
