I'm wearing my ski sweater that my Grandmother made for me before she died. I think I've had this sweater since the late '80s. She made this sweater for me when I started skiing. It's wool, and grey with a pattern of snow flakes and shapes that make it look like snow's piling up on the window panes. It has a monsterous and functional turtleneck. Grandma made this sweater to be my primary under-coat layer, so she designed the turtleneck so it can be pulled up to act as a face gaiter in pinch. I know, I've had to use it that way before.
On cold days like today, it's nice to wear it, feel warm and think of her...a chance to honor her.
