Hugs and Kisses Winter Set

We are having such a cold spell here right now, the temperatures dropped to -18C during the day and to -27C during the night. When I was working on this colorful set in September, that is the weather I had in mind.
These bright colors are perfect to brighten up the white and gray all around us.  The colorwork makes the hat and scarf especially warm and cozy.
