Getting Ready for Winter.
I've just finished another pair of wristwarmers / fingerless gloves for winter. Between the problems with my joints, not at all helped by dear old letrozole, and terrible Reynaud's, I'm hoping they'll help. The cold is a huge trigger for the Reynaud's and also makes my hands ache even more. Regular gloves make knitting impossible and also can't turn the page on my kindle either. I've been tapping the screen on the tip of my nose or my chin to do this. Not sure if the bare finger tips will still be a problem. These were the sort of item I thought the pressure garment folks might find useful to hide the hand part sticking from the end of winter long sleeves, as some had not liked the ugliness of them.

This is the time of the year when I know I live in God's Paradise.
People come to holiday, and I live here!
However, ask me in March and I will snarl, "I'm not staying another wet season".
I have been saying that for 25 wet seasons. - I hear you @"Annie C" have been waiting for this. This is our time of year with beautiful weather. I have one jumper and one jacket. Just had a sheet over me last night. :) Mind you trade off at the end of the year isn't so great, but boy am I going to make the most of these dry season months ahead. xo

We were cold last night. Got down to 19. Needed to pull the blanket up to just above the knees!
Everyone in town is happy and eagerly anticipating the dry season.
Time to find the one and only jumper and make sure it is wearable. - @AllyJay, those are gorgeous!
I opted to go with a black sleeve & glove, and a burgundy set. Nothing like hiding in plain sight. I've had less comments & questions since wearing these than I used to get in the beautiful beige.
@jennyss, we got down to 1 overnight last night, with 2 degrees forecast tonight. Winter is here in the capital 😁 - Thank you @Artferret
- @Blossom1961 try looking for those gloves in Chemist warehouse. That's where i got mine.
