I’ve cried Uncle, too. I was watching the news the other day and in February alone we have had 3 times the normal amount of snowfall. That doesn’t count December and January which were equally or snowier than this month. My sanity is very pleased that it has gotten above freezing at some point over the past three days….oh, and the knitting retreat over the weekend was wonderful. The kids and I are going stir craZy in the house this winter.

Who takes their kids to the park to slide when there’s a foot of snow on the ground and it’s 15 degrees? oh, wait! that was me…..

I will be buying more Noro from you whenever it comes in. It has it’s drawbacks, but I just cannot get over how gorgeous the colors are! And, my socks have been worn and worn and still look perfectly new. Yay for the less than merino soft yarn – it wears like iron.

A great big thank you to you and the groopies for working so hard this week to get the orders out. I got my Classy for the sweater KAL yesterday and can’t wait to cast on!

Lightly snowing here as I write this. But the birds are still chirping outside, so spring can’t be too far off. Getting ready to sit down and work on a sock while listening the latest Stephen King book called “Duma Key”. Hope it’s good.

You say ‘Aunt’, I say ‘Uncle’….. At least we both agree that sitting and knitting and watching movies is a good way to get through the snow and ice whether we enjoy it or not!!!! And now to have extra sunshine coming my way in my own Loopy Legend colorway, what fun!! They will be the next socks I cast on!!

That should have been “until after I moved here”…obviously the Italian coffee I’m sipping as I type this isn’t strong enough!

I also got Autumn—not just because so many of the other colors had already sold out but because I thought it was really pretty! And I’ll be watching for The Sanguine Gryphon! Ya gotta love the name!

My kids would be so envious of all that snow! We’ve had hardly any this winter; in fact, it’s been unusually warm. Doesn’t feel right (although certainly easier to drive around in).

I don’t remember seeing Peets in Southern California after I moved here but every time I go back for a visit, there seem to be a few more of them. And yes, it’s good coffee..

We had another yucky snowy day here in PA today. I was worried my classy wouldn’t show because our post office doesn’t always make it out to my house when the weather was bad. I was thrilled when the doorbell rang and a nice big box of yarn was there! I can’t believe how much classy I ordered last weekend. I’m definitely LOVING this yarn!

My kids had off today too, it was the 500th snow day LOL
I LOVE being home, cozy, watching it snow, today it was a really beautiful snowfall.
My DD J had her BFF K come over today (so her mom could go to work), and we taught K how to knit!! She took home her first FO a little change purse for her lunch money. You should have seen her beam with pride!!
My DD and I were beaming too. Nothing like making another knitter!!

I don’t get snow. I like rainy days for the same reason as snowy ones though. I lose my interest in going out and then I get a lot more done in the knitting or at least housebound arena.

Schools here were closed yesterday, but…thankfully the second and third round missed us so the schools around us (McDonald and Newton Counties)are open, but Jasper, northern Barry andLawrence Co schools werent.I almost ordered a legend yarn and now I wish I had, oh well I can wait until they come back in There are 3 that I defitally want! And I too love the idea of curling up on the couch w/ a cupof coffee, some background TV noise and my knitting while watching it snow!
