What do all knitters have in common? We love to knit!
We love knitting, crochet and some of us quilting. We love to get our yarn and knitting needles or crochet hooks out and whip up a cable knit sweater, gloves or a cap. Lots of us love to go to knitting classes or go searching for knitting patterns at garage or flea sales.
Me? I love to crochet flowers. I have them all over my bedroom, bathroom and even up the stairs. I also love to collect old knitting magazines stuffed with knitting and crochet patterns. Nothing thrills me more than to find a really old crochet pattern full of crochet or knitting stitches.
Why WYIF? With Yarn In Front.

I got into an argument whether I look like a punk or not with a friend. I say I look nothing like one, and most of the so called "anarcho-" punks know nothing of anarchism and think it's about chaos. I'll spare you my rant about that. What style would you consider my fashion to be? (By the way, I do real life organizing beyond wearing clothing that declares my politics. The point of my political clothing is to get into conversations with curious people who ask about it.

I'm going from December 28 - January 2 and im wondering if my wardrobe is good enough: Normal day (38-48/26-36): Button-front wool coat over a light jacket over a sweater over long johns, men's ear warmers, fleece-lined leather gloves, jeans over waterproof pants over long johns, and UGGs with 2 pairs of socks. Colder than average day (28-34/16-22): Zip-front down filled wool coat over a jacket over 2 sweaters over long johns, wool hat over men's ear warmers, fleece-lined leather gloves, jeans over waterproof pants over 2 pairs of long johns, and UGGs with 3 pairs of socks. Warmer than average day (54-60/40-48): wool jacket over sweater over long johns, light knit gloves, jeans over waterproof pants, and UGGs with 1 pair of socks. Any advice? PS: yes my coats are black, i know that everyone there wears black And yes i checked that sometimes usually on rainy days or before the passing of a front, it gets into the 50s and at least one day it gets above 60'F in December and February Almost forgot im also wearing 2 scarves on normal and cold days, and none on "warm" days
