Well, I have one girl who is definitely warm in her bulky swing coat. Morag, my Tinybear Moona, was able to go out in the cold in this outfit. Just one problem - she's suffering from the little-kid-in-a-snowsuit syndrome. I'm now working on a swing coat in thinner yarn for my Tinybear Bonbon & Coco.
Haha...I know what you mean. When I was little I could never put my arms down from being so bundled up in my coat.
