Just In Time
Recent travel knitting consisted of small things, from this red yarn, dyed red because of extreme-red-envy. The hat is a dubblemossa, with an eyelet rib from Walker:
Multiple of 7 stitches plus 2, purl 2 knit 5 for 3 rows, then purl 2, k2tog, YO, K, YO, SSK, repeat. It makes a nice little rib, and the hat being double thickness, the holes did not detract from the warmth factor.
I repeated the eyelet rib on the back of the mittys, but the scarf is one of the many multidirectional patterns out there, my version from here.
The *just in time* issue?
Winter has (finally) arrived :).
And now, to don the hat, scarf and mittens, and rush out to join my neighbors shopping for storm-essentials: bread, milk, toilet paper and chips. At least that's the bulk of what I see in grocery carts right before a storm. There must be some reason these are Storm Staples, but, oddly, none of them are on my list today:

I hope you are cured of red envy as this is a stunning ensemble to face the snow with. Sue F. says I was last to be added to the dye class list... whoo, hoo!!
oooooh, very red and very pretty. And you too ;D
You totally stole our snow. The storm gave it all to you and thumbed its nose at us. Were I to wear your ensemble, it would be like, whatever. Or maybe it's going to take red, a rain dance of sorts to make it happen in the rainshadow of the Sierras - Storm Stealers.
It's snowing here now. Again.
Nice set. I love the red. I think that I need more red in my life!
How very red of you!
Lovely red yurt in the snow photo!
Beautiful reds! Maybe winter was just waiting for you to be ready? We also had a late start on winter this year but are anticipating another ice storm tomorrow.
Lovely lovely reds! Condolences on the cold and snow - we've had torrential downpours the last few days. The sweetgum trees are budding already, which worries me because I think maybe they're being faked out by nature in an unnatural mood.
