Picks of the Week

Hey! It was a totally temperate week for a change in Chicagoland! Solid 20s-30s all around, with a decent amount of sun. I’m no meteorologist, but that’s some prime winter weather right there! I’ve been rocking the Long John Cowl pretty much 24/7 this week, and even though I know the cold isn’t for everyone, I get (perhaps embarrassingly) giddy at weather that gives me the chance to wear my handmade yarn creations. If you’re looking for some ideas to keep your hands occupied during maybe-too-cold weather, I’ve got some picks from the blogging world this week for your crafty consideration.
