When
I was younger, I used to hate getting bundled up to go outside. My parents
would send me to school in a hat, scarf, mitts, and snow pants. I was
safe from the chill, but feeling pretty darn uncool because the cool girls would
strut around the playground unbundled, in only a jacket and jeans. Even though they
probably lived on the edge of catching pneumonia, all I saw were rosy cheeks and a
streamlined silhouette, next to my snowman-like proportions.
So one day, I screwed up my courage and shed my winter wear for lunch. I was feeling pretty cool and free to move as we played around in the snow, but soon I felt a chill creeping in. I was officially over it by math class, doing multiplication with soggy jeans and wet hair.
Later that week, I paid the price even more dearly when I came down with a pretty wicked cold. Since then, I’ve stopped caring about looking cool, and I have embraced cold-weather accessories with style.

So,
you can imagine my delight when I discovered that Klutz had a kit that would
help me save my hard earned money by making my own winter wear. Knitting
is the easiest how-to-knit kit ever and comes with everything you’ll need, from
needles, yarn, and buttons to instructions for making scarves, hats, a sunglasses case,
a cell phone sock, and more!
