The Case of the Missing Winter Knitwear

 The past few years, I have knit myself several pretty winter accessories.  Fingerless mitts and ear warmers, mostly, but some scarves and cowls too.  Some matching sets, some pretty singletons.

As the cold winds blow and temperature drops, the consolation prize is I get to wear my pretty knits.  If only I could find them.  Last spring, I packed these items in a safe place, and at present, I have no idea where.  

I checked the usual places, and found mens and boys items.  Scarves, hats and gloves abound, but not my pretty items.  

I found a random cowl, one well-stretched ear warmer , and my first fingerless mitts, but none of the recent matching gems.  I have been wearing my mismatched items out of necessity, but this cannot continue all winter.  What is the point of being a knitter, if I am not wearing pretty winter knitwear?  

Sigh.  Obviously, I need to start knitting more.  

Today, it is all about the duplication.
