(Untitled)
The weather here is weird today. Blue sky just to the north, but it's snowing -- I look out the window and see blue sky, sunshine and swirling snowflakes. Haven't been able to get a decent photo, though. We don't usually get a lot of snow, just a couple times a year, but today is the first time I can remember where I see both blue sky and ( Read more... ) -

Helga went on a visit to the frog pond
I've been working on the Helga shawl (Ravelry link: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/helga-2) with the recommended US 10.5 needles and 12-50g balls of Filatura Lanarota Pure Washable Merino (100% Superwash Wool) and I ran out of yarn at about row 100 of ~200.

The corgis do just fine, but he says he's freezing. Found the free Bernat dog coat pattern, added a buttonhole where the dog harness' lead snaps onto and am ( Read more... ) -
End of Summer...
Finished the alpaca stole, though I still need to block it. Found an interesting garter-stitch scarf pattern, which works a bit like the point to point dishcloths. Took parts of that pattern and combined it with my favorite "scrubber" stitch pattern (double moss stitch) to make a couple of point to point dishcloths. Working through a bag of odd ( Read more... ) -
Snowy Sunday night
I was supposed to snow Friday night/Saturday, but it held off until after sunset this evening. We already have at least 1.5 inches and it's still coming down like crazy. I wonder if they're going to cancel school -- again! We've already had three snow days, leading to an early winter break at school and we really don't need yet another day or ( Read more... ) -
Rainy Season is here...
Looking at urban flooding (clear the street drains on your property!), sleet, freezing rain, then turning t rain today through this weekend. May have to work this weekend due to flooding in the area. -
September is a busy time...
For family, it's back to school time; for me, there's lots of overtime. *sigh*
My goal for this month is to get as much relaxation time as I can and de-stress from work.
