As I waited for the bus on Valentine\u2019s Day, I wore a hat, a scarf inside my coat, and one outside wrapped around my face. Only my eyes could be seen. I was comfortable on the bus I had to take the outer scarf off, unzip my coat and take off my gloves.<\/p>\n<p>There were several people who didn\u2019t wear hats or even pull up their hoods as a choice. Five degrees with a negative wind chill is not the time to look cute. I saw a couple in a car looking at me as I was in my blue standing mummy glory. Whatever! I looked back at them, didn\u2019t care. I was warm. Then I thought about the people who don\u2019t have the option of being in a car or don\u2019t want to wear a hat.<\/p>\n<p>Extremely cold days make me want to continue my efforts to make hats and scarves. A scarf can serve a lot of purposes and contribute to body heat. I\u2019m still enjoying crocheting and steadily working on the 2020 goals both the quantifiable ones and the underlying one of using up yarn in my stash. My love of crochet and seeking out new color combinations and techniques hasn\u2019t waned. While I\u2019m not a fan of hot weather, I do like people to be warm and like to share my handiwork with others. Share &#8211; not sell, for me crocheting is a vocation and a form of meditation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Completed as of Presidents\u2019 Day 2020:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em>Five scarves, one afghan and one hat<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>In progress:<\/strong> <em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Three afghans and one scarf<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"i4c-dialogs-container\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"i4c-dialogs-container\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"i4c-dialogs-container\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"i4c-dialogs-container\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"i4c-dialogs-container\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, a pile of warm winter gear rested in a chair because it was so heavy that it pulled my magnetized hook down when they were draped on the hanger with my coat.
