I can’t count. I kept thinking “yay I met my goal of finishing six sweaters” this year. And then I realized that I actually knit seven tops this year. Go me! {read more}

I do wonder if somewhere a meteorologist is sitting, hang dog and shame-faced about the fact that he/she keeps predicting snow will come to the Northern Colorado area, only to be proven wrong again and again. We had the barest hint at a flurry early one morning last week, and this week, despite predictions of snow Tuesday, Wednesday, and today, there has been nothing. (Although I do have to drive down to Denver this afternoon to collect my family from the airport, so undoubtedly there will be a blizzard or something along I-25.)
I would like to make an appeal to the weather gods, should they be listening. I know earlier I mentioned that I didn’t have any mittens, and so cold weather, snow, and ice were problematic only that my hands got cold. Well, now I have mittens, so any time you feel like giving us a good dusting, I’m ready!{read more}
9 CommentsSweaterday! With an actual sweater! Will wonders never cease.
I started knitting my Berkshire Dolman (Rav link) last August. It was my first attempt at knitting a sweater, so of course, I had to go and change lots of stuff. {read more}
10 CommentsA brief aside before I begin, I’m incredibly annoyed with the weather lately. Yesterday morning it was nice and sunny and I thought “excellent day for taking photos!” Except then I had to go to my volunteer shift, so by the time I got back, the sky was gray and overcast. And then last night, it started snowing and was quite blustery for a good half an hour, and even though we were supposed to get snow today, now it’s just windy and NOT SNOWING. La Niña, you can move on any time now.
Luckily, I do have a brand new pair of stranded colorwork socks to keep my feet warm, even if the sky is not giving me the snow I’d like. {read more}
