Where were you when we needed you? In December, I mean. Or January. Or February. When we wanted to put on our cross-country skis and go exploring in the quiet woods....
Today's March 1, for crying out loud. Our thoughts have turned to spring. I've begun planting seeds in peat pots for my summer garden. I even saw a snowdrop in bloom in my little kitchen-corner flower garden a few days ago.
It looks as if I'll be forced to stay in side and knit on my Multnomah shawl (free pattern on Ravelry; Cascade Heritage sock yarn)...
...and finally weave in the loose ends and sew buttons onto the Hiker's Waistcoat, which I finished last week (another free pattern at Kelbourne Woolens; Linus yarn from Knit One, Crochet too).
Come to think of it, I don't mind being snowbound at all!
But it's about the next storm, predicted for March 3....
HI Jean....Let's just hope for the old saying "In like a Lion out like a Lamb" to be true! grrrrrrrr!!
ReplyDeleteMy snowshoes have not been taken out once this winter...looks like I may have a chance yet...the only problem is I want to do spring things at this point!!
I guess we should be thankful ..I would rather have snow then tornado's!!!!!!
Grace..keep those neddles clacking!! : }}}
well, it's coming in your area like a lion...but just windy here. Might want to take off your robot words-they are a pain...to decipher. Took me two tries to leave a comment.
ReplyDeleteLin, I've tried deleting the robot words since you first suggested I do, but I can't seem to locate the spot in my blog's set-up. I'll try again right now....
ReplyDeleteWe actually had a decent day here, just a few snowflakes, and partly sunny this afternoon. Does that mean we got the lamb and will have to await the lion? I hope not. There doesn't seem to be any doubt about what you got.
ReplyDeleteJust yesterday the thought ran through my mind that here we are at another March. Usually by March I've had all the rain I think I can stand. Not so this year. We've had a very mild winter. I hope that doesn't mean we're going to have an unusually hot summer. That would make me very unhappy.
ReplyDeleteI'm anxious to see that waistcoat when you're finished with it. That looks like an interesting pattern. Ah yes, the Multnomah shawl. I see a lot of those at the yarn shops around town. If you're familiar with the Multnomah Falls it's hard to imagine that shawl in any color other than blue or green.
Sure is pretty. May as well enjoy it and your knitting. Lovely knitting projects. Am envious. I should really pursue my skills.
ReplyDeleteActually, I like the idea of cozying up on a snowy day and knitting. Unfortunately, I don't know how to knit. I knit vicariously through you.
