I’m cold. The I-can’t-walk-around-in-my-bare-feet-and-get-them-all-filthy-and-disgust-my-husband-with-them-anymore kind of cold. And that’s a total bummer.
While I don’t even want to think of the “W” word or the dreaded snow that comes with it (I’ll grasp at the last colorful leaves that are still clinging to the trees, thank you very much), I’m coming around to the idea of steaming cups of tea and hot cocoa and cozy, cozy cool weather accessories.
If you ask me, things that are handmade are cozier. They just are. A scarf that was lovingly knit on someone’s living room couch while they watched a Breaking Bad marathon and munched on popcorn is a billion times cozier than something mass produced by a machine in a cold, dirty factory somewhere. Real talk, people.
Here’s my lineup of fab handmade coziness. Can you tell I have a scarf problem?
EcoShag thermal infinity scarf
Happinknits chunky infinity scarf
I feel warmer already, don’t you?
Also, just as an FYI, my holiday gift guide posts are starting up next week. I know, I know. We’re not even past Halloween, wah wah wah. I agree with you. It seems early. But November starts next week and I’m thinking that if I can get my butt in gear and finish off my spastic holiday shopping madness early, I’ll have more time to actually sit back and enjoy the season. That’s the thought anyway. I’ll let you know how that goes.
Anyway, I’ll be doing gift guides once a week throughout November and then daily once we get to December crunch time. Lots and lots of fun goodness coming your way. That said, while this might not be an official part of my holiday gift guide series, they’re definitely awesome options. Like say, if you were to go shopping for me. How’s that for a not-so-subtle hint?
Handmade is definitely cozier! I’m loving that star print scarf!
This is making me feel toooo warm (currently in 38 degree heat)!! But you’re so right about how handmade things just look cozier. Must be all that loooove put into making it! ooh gift guides is going to be funn, can’t wait to see what you whip up!
Oh I can’t wait for the holiday gift guide posts! I have already started my Christmas shopping and am all about getting it done early so you can actually enjoy the holiday season. I love these knits – maybe I’ll learn to knit over the holidays this year when I’m relaxing at home instead of out amongst the crazies at the mall…
Hahaha, good idea Mandy! Maybe I’ll do that too!
Great picks! Thank you so much for including Happiknits 🙂
It’s never too early to prepare for the holidays, will certainly look forward to your gift guides! And I’m so amazed with your scarf DIYS!!!
