What better time to start a knitwear blog in this part of the globe than November! Especially this year, when winter takes us almost by surprise after the exceptionally long summer, full of sunny days. The transition is almost shocking, and we are all frantically rummaging in our closets and wardrobes in search of forgotten scarves and hats, sweaters and gloves, to regain the comfortable feeling of warmth during the cold season. If the law of contrast proves to be correct again, we are in for a long period of strong frost and heavy snow. If we are to enjoy it, we had better be well equipped.
