Finally, finally, it snows. Just a wee skim, but snow.....

Trying out a different phone

Now to see if mobile blog posts work.

OMBOB!

It's been foreeeveerrr.

EEEEEEEEPP

I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted. It's true that life really does get in the way.

Since the last time, I've met some local knitters from Ravelry. They're awesome and fun and funny! It's odd how folks react to ladies with sharp sticks and yarn at a Chinese buffet.

There has been some knitting that is still around to be shown. Let's see, how about these:




I know, the Teal,Aqua,Lime ones are the same colors. I just wanted to play with the colors and this is what happened.

The black and white hat is from a pattern called Selbu Modern by Kate Gagnon Osborn at Kelbourne Woolens. It was a lot quicker than you'd think to make up and I adore the finished product.

Hi ho hi ho off to work we go. I have to do something productive.

Inauguration Day

Well, I had this big thing already written about my hopes and fears for the new President, but then erased it all.

Everyone is probably already sick to death of everyone else's opinions, so..


As far as knitting goes, I've been working on a cowl pattern out of some nice thin fuzzy Patons Lacette. It's a nylon/acrylic/mohair blend that's looking pretty and girly. We'll see what happens when I'm done fooling around with it. Keep your fingers crossed because this would be a bear to frog.

If it turns out pretty, I'll get pics up and if not, we shall not speak of it again...

Cold

All I have to say is

BRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

0 degress Farenheit this morning (-17.8 degrees Centigrade)
When they put in the lovely wind chill that's about -12F or -24C.

I am having a hard time wraping my head around it being colder here than in Fairbanks, Alaska.
