So, today was another experiment in wool, which failed. Put the smart wool base layer on, with a full zip light thermal Craft jersey. No way... I sat around my house itching for 2 hours and changed to a different base and mid layer before going snow shoeing. Then, I put my Vim Hybrid jacket on when we left. It was about 31, but the temperature was going down, it was cloudy, and getting windy. I felt cool until we started climbing the 20+% grade hill for about half a mile. But, no excessive sweating, which is excellent.
Not sure what this means, except that it seems that wearing a wool base layer one day sort of sensitizes my skin and starts some kind of histamine reaction, which is OK if I don't annoy it by wearing wool the next day.

This is starting to sound like a knitting forum. Just a little.

I am not worthy of the wool

I do sometimes wish that Isis and Ibex were one company, though.

Just ordered 2 Ibex bras from TE. I am hoping the small fits; while I am x small in the cup, I am somewhat broad in the shoulders/chest, so I think I'm OK.
They were on sale and who cares if they are last year's model? I hope they get here in the mail Thursday, so I can pack them for my trip to Franconia on Friday.
This is what I do when it's a snow day and I'm avoiding studying.

Is it wrong that I just ordered a wool blanket for my husband as a Valentine's gift? If we share it, that's romantic, right?

I got that ad too. The ad had hearts on it. So it's a perfect Valentine's day gift.
