I seem to be on a crochet kick these days. This is mostly motivated by the fact that it is cooooooooold here. Look, we had snow:

Because of how nippy it is, even in the flat, I wear my crocheted hat and cowl. But the cowl, made back in France with the idea that Lebanon would not be as cold, was too loose and "airy."
So a new scarf was in order. This one is even airier than my cowl, but because it is so long and wide, it stacks up nice and warm and will be more versatile as the weather shifts. I had already made a version of it for my mother-in-law the Christmas before we left Egypt, so I knew how it would work out and how cozy it would be with the right yarn:

My hands are always freezing, too, so I made myself a pair of fingerless mitts. Now only my fingertips are popsicle-like.
The beginnings:

As you can see on the finished mitts, I went back and put a lighter color on the body of one to match the other. Working with variegated yarn and trying to get the colors to match up is a bit tricky, but I think it turned out all right:

Snow one moment and rainbows the next. From the living room window:

And a slightly wider (and sunnier) view a couple of minutes later from the kitchen:
