BRRRRRRRRR!!! Brigadier 88 was not a happy camper yesterday :-(

Well folks I am here to tell you that with -17C temperature in NS Canada,  and in a building that did not have heat, Brigadier 88 fought back to crank yesterday!  He was just too COLD!  Brigadier will be 6 years old on December 23rd, and this was the very first time he and MrB were having major problems knitting/cranking!  MrB took careful care in not packing him into the trunk until it was time to leave, but the 1/2 hour trek was enough to put him into a non-knitting mood! He was dropping stitches left, right, and centre, and it was not the experienced knitter operating his crank.  It was the COLD! He did finally warm up near the end of the day to create a pair of socks!  Good thing though is that the passerbys did not notice the havoc they were having ..... they still saw the machine in motion.  Now MrB is search of some winter oil!!!
