NEEDLEWORKMONDAY: MESSY BUN BEANIE A NECESSITY

Hello everybody,

Grrrrrr, it is cold up here, at Albor Hills especially at dawn. For us senior citizen, 21°C is too cold already, then early in the morning went up to 23°C, still cold but fresh air and anions in abundance! Blessings from nature, am grateful for. That's why last saturday I crocheted another messy bun beanie I can wear. Look! Hot of the hook yesterday.

The fiery pink is such a wonderful color and the open hat is a fun idea for a bad hair day. But I admit I had to smile at the „cold“ 21 degrees... here we have currently frost, means around 0 degrees. The water in our garden was completely frozen.

I am looking forward to your crochet sock post, as I am always on the hunt for good patterns, which are warm and flexible (sometimes crochet socks are a bit stiff)

Oh oh hahaha maybe my heart stop beating with that temperature. I tried Australia before it was November our 1 month free staycation, almost Australians wore just daily clothes for summer but me felt freezing.I can't stand cold weather. Hope I can make the socks I hav'nt tried it yet.

I on the contrary have problems in heat (but I must admit that our homes are not suited to very warm weather... ) I melt if its over 30 degrees, especially when its very humid. I don’t like freezing either, but I can put on more clothes to stay warm, its not so easy to escape the heat. For us its good the temperatures dropped, as it is always too warm here because of the climate crisis.
I send you a bit of sunny vibes and hope you will get milder weather.

Wow! it is so nice, Sis. I am also making my own Messy Bun. Yes, it is necessary and I like the comfy feeling of it as it has a breathable space on the head for the hair.
