Hand Warmers

It is snowing.  I am doing what I love to do best.  KNITTING!  I am currently working on a pair of hand warmers with Louise Harding Kimono Angora yarn.  A matching hat is in the planning stage when the hand warmers are finished.

It has been a cold week here in Minnesota.  My dad came to visit Wednesday afternoon.  The temperature was ten below, with a wind chill that made the air feel like twenty-five below.  He walked into the house with no hat on his head or mittens on his hands.

"Dad," I said, "I know I knit you a nice pair of warm mittens for your hands, where are they?"

"In my drawer at home."

I just shook my head, some people's parents.
