C Robb W., that's a bit of a turnaround isn't it? My mother was always telling me "wear a singlet!" or "put on a hat!" if I was feeling cold.

Give your dear old mum-in-law a warm hug from all of us next time you see her :)

Have you hugged a knitter today? If not you should... maybe you'll get a reward!

I can't knit but I can spin. My wife knits though. That way we get to tag-team making homespun garments using wool off our own sheep.

If you knit you can design and make warm clothing that you can't get in stores. Store bought clothing is all about fashion and has no interest in the practicalities of keeping warm.

It is important to keep your head warm. Up to 40% of your body heat can be lost through your head.

Buy NZ merino - it's a little more but it lasts and its soooo warm.
