Tuesday was a snow day...after 9 am anyway. That is when the college closed, after D and I had made our way through the snow and wind to get there by 7 am (near white out conditions and the snow plows came in right after I parked). D was confused on why we went to school at all, I think we are all a bit confused on that one.
I'm not sure on the accumulation We got snow, then rain, then more snow. Plus the temp was about 30-34 degrees so a lot melted into slush. Boy, do we have slush. It was the wind and the yucky roads that caused the snow day, not the amount of snow.
Not to let a good snow day go to waste with cleaning and chores, I settled down in the recliner, started a Harry Potter movie marathon and knit.
I started my Saroyan wrap during Thanksgiving break. (How I knit anything that weekend, I am not sure. I just remember feeling so sick. I am so glad I am over that stage of my pregnancy.) I had new determination to finish that thing. It had been on the needles too long and I did finish it during Chamber of Secrets.
It still needs some serious blocking, but D decided to model it for me.
She's a natural.
The yarn is Malabrigo (100% Merino) color 176 Loro barranquero. It was a joy to knit with. I hope to use this yarn in many more future projects. Maybe a nice cardigan for myself this fall?
I also knit two dishcloths, which D is claiming for her kitchen center. She thinks everything is for her, poor only-child-syndromed girl. A rude awakening is coming and she knows it, but I don't think she really comprehends.
Now I have to figure out what to make next. Any suggestions?
