Snow!!

Snowing

So at long last we get our snow.  Granted, it is not a huge amount, but if it keeps up as promised, I may actually be able to get out on my skis later on.  The ironic thing is that today I had planned to go on a trip. The only trip of the season, so I thought it very fitting that this is the day it would snow a lot.  However,  this is a trip that can be done tomorrow, and so it shall.  Which gives me a whole day at home to work in my "studio".   The studio being more of a state of mind than an actual place.

I did get a new piece done for my Etsy shop.  I really like it and want to do another that same size with a different pattern.  Of course.  I tried to take some photos of the yarn I might use,  but the camera is giving me problems.  Once I get it to take a good photo, I will share.






We have an old Siamese kitty who will be 20 this month.  She has a little heated bed on the sofa that she sleeps in all the time.  Today it looks like the right idea.

My new project that I succumbed to finally is the Lanesplitter skirt.    This is a pattern I have been longing to make but the suggested yarn is so expensive that I couldn't justify spending that much money, just to knit a cool pattern.  However,  I was looking at the many skirts already done by other knitters and found that they are using all kinds of yarns.  So then I was able to go to my favorite online store, KnitPicks, and find affordable Chroma worsted to use.   I am not going to show you any photos until I get a bit of it done.  And get my camera to work!
