We have been out of power here for over 48 hours.
I couldn't sew, with an LED light perched on my chest, I managed to knit the last of the mug cozy's.
We are back online, power is up and it's cold here, temp is -12 C= 10.4 F, we heat with wood heat, which saved us from the cold but cooking was a challenge. Only stew for 2 days but it kept us from going hungry.
Hope everyone is warm and well :)

These are neat. Sorry about your power. I've been there, only we heated with power and had a well so no power, no heat or water. Found I could manage with no heat a lot better than I could manage with no water. when They finally got the roads cleared 3 days later, we had to go to a Motel for 5 more days. They gave a special rate to people displaced because of the weather but it was still costly./Lillian

Yeah, no water is a pain, on a well here too.
I melted snow, on the woodstove for potty water, we had bottled water to drink and cook with, but not much.

I don't think I've ever seen knit mug cozies before. They really are nicely done. I sometimes wonder how the pilgrims every survived winter.

Pilgrims must have lived in warmer climates :)

Hi loosie
you make me think at the years spent on the Catskills (NY-USA), it was soooo cold!
One night under the weight of the melting ice the electric wires
snapped and we had to boiled our tea water on a candle's fire!
I love your knitting, original and cozy.
Thanks for the memories.

That's what happened here too, the snow was so heavy it broke lines and poles, we have power now but some don't and the temp is much colder now.
