The best thing you can do in winter, is working with wool. All different kinds of wool. gliding along your fingers, keeping you warm. and the one you are knitting for.....warm too....
A nice difference of knitting I have spotted.. the european way and the 'uh' north american' way? or where is it originally from? I like it! Anyway, in making an effort trying it the north american way great help for me is: www.knittinghelp.com if I need some video guidance.
The wool I used is NORO. inspiring it is, keep buying the same coloured one and the colours make me want to make, Next to the hat, Maria, joseph, They are on the way, aren't they, so a cape is nice and warm... mittens for Julia. etc.
I personally see no ending yet....
The book '
Knit one, embellish too' from Cosette Cornelius-Bates I used for the hat and mittens is good, works easy and very good to follow...as well in the european way.......
