Cooler Today

Woke up to a cold apartment, even with the windows closed. How lovely to wear my flannels and drink coffee and watch the Today Show. The hot weather will be back on Monday but here, in the Great North Land, we never forget that winter is coming sooner than later. Kimmie Cornerstone, my Fibre Sister (yes, she spells it funny), knits these incredible hats out of her handspun. It won't be long until I am reaching for mine. They are warm and dense, not like the crappy store-bought hats that you hardly know are on your head. Kim's hats keep out the big wet flakes of snow and look pretty, too. She knitted up this one lickedy-split at the Syracuse Jazz Festival when we were waiting out the rain and waiting for some customers. Kim will knit a hat for you, too. Reach her at cornerstonefibres@yahoo.com. Tell her Maggie sent you!
