Waiting for the Snow!

It is very cold today and the forecast is for heavy snow in this area later this evening.  I do love the snow but I don't like having to drive in it.  I don't have any plans to go out tomorrow apart from dropping Victoria off at school, hopefully Michael (DH) will do this if it is that bad. Most probably the school will close anyway.  I however have to go to work on Thursday so I am keeping my fingers crossed that things would have calmed down by then.

On the knitting front I have decided to give up on the Bavarian cabled socks as it got complicated having to use a cable needle.  I frogged them back to the toe and started IHeart socks instead.  This is from the same book.  I am also knitting a scarf for myself in a pink and purple colour.  This is to go with my purple gloves I bought just before Christmas. I don't know where the pattern came from but it is a copy of a pattern my friend Chrissy (wheatiegirl) used for a scarf which she asked me to frog and whilst doing this I wrote down the pattern as she has forgotten how it was done.  It is at about half the length needed at the moment.  The yarn I am using is Fyberspates spaced dyed sock yarn 75% merino and 25% Nylon.  It is quite soft so thought it would make a good scarf.  There is nothing worse than having itchy wool around the neck.

I am quite enjoying this blogging but I am sure like most others my blogs will get further and further apart as life gets busy again.

  1. Loved your scarf. With the Bavarian socks, if you wanted to have a go again it might be worth doing the cabling without a cable needle, to see if it makes it a bit less fiddly.

    See you sunday
