Photo heavy post coming up!
First here's a shot of the fabric I'm getting for Rachel's jacket
I'm on sleeve island with it now and the recent snowfall is the impetus I needed to get moving with it!
It's been a long standing misconception that I can't knit socks - not true - it's just that it hurts my hands to work on anything that small for any length of time. Last week one of my colleagues asked me to give her a lesson in sock knitting so I cast on this
it was put to further use on Thursday night at I Knit London when I got asked to help a group of actors learning to knit socks and gloves for a play due to start at the Old Vic in the next few weeks. Needless to say no more work has been done on it since Thursday night.
A few weeks ago I entered Liz's blog contest and won this magnificent skein of yarn and some of Wibbo's stitchmarkers - the colours are fantastic
Finally - Today is officially Snow Day with no buses or trains I can't get to work. I ventured out for a short while to take some photos and am now back indoors having sent Matt off on a supermarket run.
This is a neighbours Pampas grass
the hydreangas
and the fence
time to go and make the hot chocolate!
Love your snow pics! I had to head into work, but left early when the snow got worse!
Posted by: Daisy at February 2, 2009 04:37 PMWe had a bit of snow overnight, and have had odd flurries since.
Only having little over a mile to get to the Art Room, I walked up the canal rather than cycled this morning.
Funnily enough I've been here on my own so far.
Too much admin to do, or I'd be spinning!
Congrats on a proper snowfall :)
Have you tried to knit socks on two circs? It is easier on my hands for sure. Maybe it will be for you too?

We have snow also which is unusual at the seaside
