Winter Tips

1. Flipping your windshield wipers up when you park your car will ensure that the blades don't get frozen to your windshield. (Be advised that it's very visible, and most people don't do this, so you may get strange looks or have people asking what happened to your car.)
2. Make sure to knock the snow out of your scraper brush after you use it so the bristles don't get frozen in to a block.
3. When clearing snow off your car,
- make sure you clear you headlights, taillights, and indicator lights so that they can serve their respective functions
- brushing off your hood will keep snow from blowing distractingly across your windshield while you're driving
- clearing off your car's roof will prevent the snow from sliding on to either the front or back windshield while you are driving

Strangest Thing I Have Knit Yet

This is a cover on the handle of our storm door. I got tired of how cold it is when letting the dog out in the winter.

For those of you who have been wondering about my lack of posts, between work, Little Girl, the holidays, grad school applications, and some major reorganizing, things have been pretty busy, but I look forward to having more crafting, cooking and inspiration to share in the New Year.
