Minus one degree was the temperature when I left home yesterday morning. The sun shone above heavy frost.
I was bundled up with coat, scarf, hat, gloves, and boots, but my fingers and cheeks were still cold. My fine leather gloves are insufficient for this level of cold, and I need to find some warmer ones. It occurred to me that I’d be better off wearing a balaclava, but I don’t fancy the army surplus stores type, neither do I want to look like Pussy Riot:
If I want a pink or purple balaclava I think I’d have to knit it, and by the time I’d finished it would probably be summer. I guess I’ll just stick to the warm scarf and beanie.
“A balaclava might be good
or would it be misunderstood?”
my husband used to buy his for cycling from a good sports shop used to get cold around the ears cycling. it then when not in use goes into a beanie!

Beanies are in but a purple balaclava may go in the bin. Just kidding…..it would certainly have you stand out.

I would be proud to look like Pussy Riot – women standing up to a corrupt government.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Today it’s a little less cold and my pink beanie was quite sufficient.
