So we were pretty happy to stay inside.
Tessa loves snow days. We get to stay in jammies, watch movies and do a little light cleaning. So far we've only made it to the first two. :-)
I like to knit on snow days of course....no different from any other day except I don't have work to mess with my knitting time (just housework and meals). Today I'm working on these:
Aren't they great? The purple is a super-soft merino/silk/cashmere blend and the white is wool. I think they're going to be fantastic house socks, as long as I don't walk in them--for wearing while watching TV, sleeping, etc. I have to sleep in socks or I simply cannot sleep. I'm looking forward to being finished with them, hopefully later today so I can sleep in them tonight.
(For those interested, the purple yarn is Kathmandu from Queensland Collection and the white is a discontinuned member of the Joann's Sensations line. I am knitting them on 4.25mm needles, which is approx. size 6 U.S., and CO 48 sts in the regular Yarn Harlot Basic Sock Recipe found in Knitting Rules).
Even the critters like to get in on snow days. Behold, Annie and Jack:
The other night, Tessa had her school program. It was cute. She had fun. That's about all that can be said for most school programs. It was held in a local church because the school gymnasium is too small. Tessa looked really cute.
I have a few close-up shots of her as well, but a) my camera sucks at closeups, so they're blurry and b) you can actually distinguish which kid is which in them, and since I don't have every parents' permission to post photos, I'm not going to.
So the snow is coming down harder now and it's 1 p.m. and I've got to get rockin' if I'm going to finish socks. I leave you with one last snuggly Jack picture. Because I think he's really cute. :-)
