Be it masochism or something else, I’m a sucker for the extreme below freezing temperatures. There is just something so alluring about the cold and crisp air that can seriously hurt you if you don’t know how to dress for it.
I hate being cold but I’d take the dry -30°C over rainy +2°C any day!
When I woke up this morning and pulled back the heavy velvet curtains, I saw the bedroom windows had frosted on the inside. Beautiful, but that tells you how cold it is in here. Don’t worry though, these and the kitchen windows are the only ones with frost on them because of the moisture and shut curtains. Everywhere else it’s so dry no frost will form. I could leave the curtains open, add more insulation or turn down the heating to prevent condensation but honestly it’s not a big deal. These below -15°C temps propably won’t last more than a week so I’m not too bothered by it.
I just finished a new Icelandic wool sweater, perfectly in time for this even colder weather. It was quite funny that the dog tried to refuce to come outside with me and whined the whole two minutes while I took a few selfies. Maybe I need to knit her a sweater and wool socks too, though I’m pretty sure she’s hate them.
Truth be told, I haven’t been hanging much outside even though I know how to dress for this weather and like it. I’ve been in a knitting mood for the holidays and have started a new project immediately after finishing one. I have plenty of supplies so I don’t need to venture out for much of anything. This sweater I made for myself has a very unisex pattern so I think I’m gonna make my brother one but in different colours.
