Mmmm – Mini Mochi
Remember the skein of Mini Mochi that I picked up at TNNA and showed you last week? It went from that ball to this sock during the week. As you can see, I was having too much fun watching the colors play out, and I made it long! (I still had more yarn left from that skein.) Knit up on size 2′s with 60 stitches with a K3, P1 cuff. This will be up on the website later tonight or tomorrow, in all 8 colors currently available. It reminded me of knitting with handspun – soft and loose and very wonderful. Yes, I’m knitting the second sock on this, because I want to wear them. What else will you find going up this week? Woolpets, Trekking (new colors and re-stocks), Panda Cotton (new colors and re-stocks), Louet, Sereknity, Beannie Baggies, Cherry Tree Hill Possum Sock, Annie Adams, and more Schaefer Nichole, plus Anne and Lola.
In the “My Accountant Cracks Me Up” category (although I know that “accountant” and “cracks me up” shouldn’t go together), I thought I’d show you the little notes he leaves on all of the different forms he has to prepare for me each quarter. (Another one of the joys of running a business.) Of course I most love the ones where all I have to do is sign them, but even the forms where I have to include a check are made a little easier because his frowny-faces make me laugh. He’s a good accountant anyway, but the faces just elevate him, in my opinion. (Another thing that cracks me up: Sneezing Baby Panda.)
We’re supposed to get a snowstorm tonight. 4-6″. Of course the weathermen here in St. Louis rarely get it right, so I’m not holding my breath. Hopeful, but not holding my breath. I figure if we’re going to have cold temperatures all winter long, which I like, we might as well have the pretty white stuff to go along with it. I only remember one winter season where I was tired of the snow. It happened my senior year in college and we still had big snowstorms in mid-April. I remember looking out our apartment’s kitchen window and thinking I was going to have to do something drastic if the white stuff didn’t just GO AWAY soon. Fortunately, it did. Go away. Soon.

I would love snow or sun – either is better than our forecast …in Dallas, we are under an ice storm warning from 6 p.m. tonight untl noon on Wednesday…… it was 84 last Thursday……..
Frances said,
January 26, 2009 @ 2:21 pm
snow is pretty, but slush and ice and not being able to get around are not fun to deal with. Last week we had about 4-6″ here in NC and it was nice to not have to go to work for a day, but by the next day I was ready for it to be gone.
Looking forward to the Mochi!

Love snow! The more the better!
Most of my friends think I’m crazy, even though we live in Ohio and expect snow. I always want more.

I live in Lafayette, LA so we really don’t see any snow. In the past 11 years we only had flurries. However, just a few weeks ago it snowed and we actually had about an inch or two. We went and played in it before going to school. The kids had a blast. My 7 yr. old built a small snowman and we took pictures. By noon it was all gone. I would love to see some more. To see how excited the children were that morning after seeing the snow was the best feeling. Unfortunately, it probably won’t happen again for a while.
Cheryl Walsh said,

I want the snow on Wednesday. The kids are having a fun day tomorrow with school and I don’t want them to miss it. Let it Snow – Tuesday night

Since we haven’t had any real snow yet here in South Jersey this winter I’m definitely in the PRO-snow category. One good storm though and I’ll be moving into the other camp!
Allison :) said,
January 26, 2009 @ 2:30 pm
PRO SNOW! We’re supposed to have ice along with the snow I think…and our ice storms can be bad, but if that means a “snow day” off from work then I am all for it!!! Plus, it seems like big snow storms are few and far between, so I’m all for it if we can get it. There’s something so calming about a good snow. And really, what looks better than the ground blanketed in white? GO SNOW, GO!

The Panda video is too funny – love the look on mom’s face!
Winter. It can go now. We’ve had the bitter cold here in WI lately – been awhile since we’ve gotten any snow.
Love the look of your new sock. What colorway is it? Glad to hear you’re not going to leave it orphaned.
I also have to say, I like your accountant. Working for a CPA firm myself, we’re not as funny with our payment instructions. Glad you found some one with a sense of humor!
Happy Shoveling!

Hate shoveling said snow, but I love snow! It’s so pretty!
Marie said,
January 26, 2009 @ 2:47 pm
No snow – enough already – we don’t have any place to put it. If they pile it any higher it will be June before it melts. I know I live in the northeast but I surrender – let it go further north where they can ski, plus unfortunately all the cities and towns are out or just about out of snow plowing dollars so the upcoming Wednesday and Friday events (if you can believe the weathermen) are going to be a challenge for sure. Oh, how I long for the lighter, longer days of spring.

I like the snow, I just want it to stop falling on the days I have things to get done. Every time we set out Christmas shipping this year it snowed. Yesterday I was going to finish Christmas by delivering some gifts and yeah, it snowed, all day. You know, it could have snowed on Christmas. That would have been pretty
Angela said,
January 26, 2009 @ 2:56 pm
Love the snow! It’s so beautiful! But I can say that because, here in Louisiana, we only have to deal with it about once every 10-20 years. We do go skiing every winter, and I have to say, that after a week of it, I’ve had enough. All of the extra clothing means a lot of extra laundry too. BTW, Sheri, has all of the Wollmeise gone up for the month?
Tracy said,
January 26, 2009 @ 2:58 pm
I’m pro-snow, but we were pretty much housebound for 2 weeks in December and that was a tad much. I guess I couldn’t live someplace like Minnesota. I like a good snow, but then knowing it will be gone in 2-3 days. There are still a few parking lots where they plowed the snow into big piles that STILL have snow from last year! Pretty remarkable for Seattle.
That big sock loves so lovely and warm
And I like your accountant’s notes – at least he isn’t a really dry numbers-only person who wouldn’t recognize the difference between a smile and a frown 
Cheryl said,
January 26, 2009 @ 2:59 pm
SNOW SNOW SNOW
Oh I love it so…
The only thing could make it better
Would to have it fall in warmer weather.
I am done with the sub zero stuff.
Michele in Maine said,
January 26, 2009 @ 3:00 pm
Snow – yes! That means it’s not as cold out. Right now the subzero temperatures are getting a little old. I mean, negative numbers plus windchill? Too much!
Sarah said,
January 26, 2009 @ 3:01 pm
Your accountant is too funny! (somehow that doesn’t sound right)
We have snow, actually it’s still snowing. The kids are home from school for a snow day so the house is nuts. I don’t mind snow, but I would like it better if there was school today:)

January 26, 2009 @ 3:03 pm
Having just returned from Ohio where it was a -17 degrees F and 14 inches of snow (not to mention it snowed for the 5 days we were there), I am not so much for snow. It is very pretty when it is falling and to see it on the lawn all white and pristine is very pretty. BUT, when I have to go out in it, ugh! not so pretty. I think I froze the whole time we were there. We got home and it was 83 degrees F!! I’m thinking it was a fluke because it’s been in the 60s lately.

NO SNOW! I have your 4-6″, right outside my house. You can come and get it!

I love snow but we don’t get “big” snows very often. Of course, we shut down for a dusting here as most folks don’t know how to drive on it or think they know how to drive on it and run the rest of us off the road. I really would prefer they come on weekends so I don’t have to get out.
Michelle said,
January 26, 2009 @ 3:09 pm
I love the snow! I just do no like when it is real cold and there is no snow.
Tanya said,
January 26, 2009 @ 3:09 pm
Pro Snow here. Southern Maryland isn’t exactly a snow-lover’s paradise, but we usually see one or two really good snows per year. We’re supposed to get ice this go around. Yay. I’d say it’d mean good knitting time, but if it’s bad enough that I can’t go into the office, the kiddos are off and home.
Can’t wait for the Mini Mochi!
Meesh said,
January 26, 2009 @ 3:16 pm
All snow, all the time! No snow is bad snow! New and improved, now with 110% more snow!!
I even like shoveling–keeps you warm.
LadyO said,
January 26, 2009 @ 3:18 pm
I love snow! I’ve always maintained that it is because I was born during a blizzard (the doctor had to walk to the hospital)
Amanda said,
January 26, 2009 @ 3:27 pm
I love the snow as long as I don’t have to drive in it and it’s a substantial amount. The dustings we keep getting here in SE Indiana are so frustrating. It’s just not enough! Plus the weather keeps going from warm-ish to bitterly cold. Make up your mind already!
Wendy in Cambridge said,
January 26, 2009 @ 3:43 pm
Definitely pro-snow! We’ve had a lot of it in New England this year, though–more already than we usually have in a season, and it’s only the end of January. Several more inches are expected on Wednesday.
I’ve always loved winter and snow–can’t say that I love driving in it, though. My little car does very well, and I only drive at about 15 mph if I have to go out during a storm. The roads are generally pretty good by the next day. We New Englanders are used to this!
I do love shoveling snow. I have a parking space under a roof and the lot is plowed, so I don’t have to shovel anymore. I kind of miss it! Hmmm…maybe that could be second job…
Your Mini-Mochi sock is gorgeous!
Valerie said,
January 26, 2009 @ 3:45 pm
I don’t have much choice but to like snow, or I’d be unhappy about 5 months of the year, living in Canada and all. This year we have lots of snow but because of the extreme cold it’s staying whiter and less messy than usual, so I like that. Hope you get the snow you’re looking forward to. It sure can be pretty! And there’s nothing like staying inside all snug and cozy, knitting away, while you watch the snow falling.
Barbara in NH said,
January 26, 2009 @ 3:46 pm
Well, we live in NH so we LOVE snow! And have lots on the ground right now – maybe 3 feet with more forecast for Wednesday. My boys love to snowboard, we snowshoe – we definitely live in a winter wonderland!
I can *wait* to try the mini-mochi!
Martha in Dc said,
January 26, 2009 @ 4:03 pm
Hi Sheri,
Put me down for the no snow and no cold. However DC is expecting snow tonight. The only problem here is that we have too many people in DC who have never seen snow in their home country and they have no idea what to do or how to drive in it.
I can;t wait to retire and move to Florida.
ChristyH said,

I am very much in the pro-snow camp!!!!! I live in western Michigan which is a giant snow belt because we get Lake Effect snow. Lots of it. We also go sledding quite often.
Liz said,
January 26, 2009 @ 4:09 pm
Oh, lordy, Sheri, you want snow? Come on up to Chicago! It’s never going away. It’s too cold to melt it. We can arrange for you to take home as much as you want.
Your sock is lovely! Gotta get me some of that Mochi Mochi!
Denise said,
January 26, 2009 @ 4:11 pm
I am done with the snow for this year. Enough already. We have had record amounts here in Massachusetts. They tell me another foot on Wednesday! Snow days are fun and all but I am afraid my son will be in school until July.

MaryEllen said,

I am definitely pro-snow! I grew up in upstate NY (lots of snow), and now I live in Philly (not so much). I think everything looks so much more wintery when there is a nice coating of white (and salt doesn’t count
)
Monica said,
January 26, 2009 @ 4:23 pm
Very pretty colors in the Mochi you knit up.
I am so looking forward to the snow. We have had precious little of it here. We have had more than our share of the ice though.
Joannah said,
January 26, 2009 @ 4:40 pm
I’m definitely in the no-snow camp. I think Western Mass has had enough. We are supposed to get another plop of snow later this week. It could be the week-of-no-electricity that started this winter off, but I’m ready for milder (aka above zero) temps. and precipitation that doesn’t require a shovel. Not a single thing wrong with SPRING as far as I’m concerned.
Mickie Taylor said,
January 26, 2009 @ 4:47 pm
Love the snow here in Northeast Mass, we have several inches on the ground. Not melting at all just to cold. Can’t wait for Wednesdays storm. Last storm we had l5 inches think that was just about a week a go. Hate summer, who does that sound like? Hugs
Becca said,
January 26, 2009 @ 4:48 pm
I am so anti-snow and anti-winter I cannot believe I moved to Minnesota. I miss living where it was warm and sunny and warm. Did I mention that I miss warm? We have not been above freezing for 4 weeks now.

Angie said,

I’m pro-snow if I can stay at home, warm up with a cozy blanket, and knit to my heart’s desire. If I have to drive to work, I’m very anti-snow. So, I’m in a pickle.
The next Sneak-Up sounds very intriguing! I will have to keep a look on my email.
Susan-a-Buffalo-Gal said,

Good thing we live in Buffalo.

January 26, 2009 @ 5:21 pm
I’m in the “no snow” camp. In England when it snows, we panic for a day, then we remember that this does happen most years and we really do know how to deal with it. The trains are delayed (seasonal excuses are ice/snow on the tracks, leaves on the line (spring), tracks warped from heat (summer), more leaves on the line(autumn)).
Might be on the look out for some more of that Possum sock…
Barbara said,
January 26, 2009 @ 5:35 pm
Oh, Sheri, I am praying for no snow. I cannot handle the bad weather anymore
and I can’t even get to a doctor. I can’t handle the cold at all and I need to see
her. Do you think it can snow where you are and be warm and sunny where I am?
Guess not. Don’t like being stuck in this little apartment for this long of a time
either. I use to love the snow and when it snowed a lot and I was young and healthy
and strong, we use to make hot chocolate for the kids that were sledding down
our street. It was fun then. Of course having a snowy bunch of kids trapsing
through your house was not a great thing, even then. I loved the sneezing baby
panda video also and your sock looks great.
Sarah (potterknitter) said,
January 26, 2009 @ 5:40 pm
Looks like your accountant wishes he could have a prescription pad, he certainly has doctors handwriting!
I’m really missing snow this year. I live in the mountains and we haven’t had any real snow in years, not even a whole inch this year so far. I WANT snow cream.
Robin said,
January 26, 2009 @ 5:42 pm
I am in the NO SNOW catagory. I like it for a while and then I get sick of it. I haven’t seen my yard in months. The sock looks great. I can’t wait to see the pair.
Sherry said,
January 26, 2009 @ 6:03 pm
I don’t mind the snow that much. What I really don’t like is the ice. The walking conditions have been terrible … that puts me in a bad mood.
Love that panda sneezing. You gave me a good laugh today and I needed a good laugh!
Karen said,
January 26, 2009 @ 6:03 pm
I’m in the no snow camp – having just left my parents home outside of Boston where there was 2 feet of snow on the ground, I have come to realize that I don’t miss it one bit
Marianne Y said,
January 26, 2009 @ 6:04 pm
We’ve already had 60″ of snow this winter, and our all-time record annual snowfall amount is just 80″, with over 2 months left of potentially snowy weather!
Our local hardware stores, et al, have already sold 90% of their allotment of snowblowers this year, too. So, I’ve had quite enough snow & arctic cold for the year, sigh! On the other hand, my youngest son, who is 17, is cheering for more snow, so he can earn more money blowing the snow off of neighbors’ driveways. (He doesn’t charge the elderly widows, though, and he just takes what people offer him.) The rest of you all may have our snow, though, as far as I’m concerned!
Caroline said,
January 26, 2009 @ 6:38 pm
NO snow. After the fact that the Pacific NW got 12″ of snow (with a thick layer of ice in the middle) over winter break, so I couldn’t go anywhere or see any friends that were home from college like I was, NONONONO to the snow. I really don’t want to see any again for a long while.
Mary said,
January 26, 2009 @ 6:42 pm
Snow. Must. Stop. NOW!!!
You’ll be sending it my way after it ruins your day!
Got to admit, though, it’s nice being snug indoors with some lovely yarn on a snowy evening! But…even with that….Snow. Must. Stop. NOW!!!

Stephanie said,
January 26, 2009 @ 6:47 pm
Given the choice between a foot of snow and a quarter inch of ice, I’d much rather have the snow. Having said that – when it snows here there is a great deal of foolishness that I could cheerfully do without – people who should go don’t go to work, the state seems to only own 2 plows, everyone gets cranky because “they” don’t plow, etc. I love sitting in the rocking chair knitting while the snow falls, and watching the dog try to catch snowflakes on his tongue through the window (okay, so he’s not the brightest dog in the world)!
Can’t wait to see the new yarn – your socks look very comfy (I know you’ll finish the second one!).
James said,
January 26, 2009 @ 7:10 pm
Are you kidding? I’m a teacher! I live for snow days! They’re the best because you don’t have anything scheduled, and Cindy Pressler is giving you permission to not leave the house. Darn, can’t go anywhere? Guess I’ll just have to knit the day away. Of course, the real nightmare would be a snow day and not having any yarn. I don’t think I’ll EVER have to worry about that problem, though! It could knit from now until the cows came home and I’d still have stash left.
Laurie said,
January 26, 2009 @ 7:13 pm
I’m usually pro-snow, but this year we had an unusually long cold and snowy spell and I learned how streets look with dirty snow plowed to the sides and parking lots look with twenty foot high mounds of dirty snow in the corners. White, fresh, beautiful, then melted is my kind of snow.
Patty said,

Definitely in the Pro-Snow camp here! I just love snow and we never seem to get enough of the stuff here in the St. Louis area! lol When it’s cold and snowy and I am going nowhere in it I love to curl up on the couch with my hot tea and my knitting bag and a good movie!

Definitely put me in the “pro-snow” camp. Living in Vermont, I’d better be. At least until I’m old and go to Florida for the winters (never gonna happen!). First of all, toasty warm wood stoves and hot chocolate. Second, it’s much prettier then the mud (spring is mud season here in VT) Third, it’s just pretty. And fourth, a reason to wear warm, handknit things.

Put me in the No Snow category for now. Here in metro Detroit there is a good foot on the ground, and it’s snowing some more. There have been more crappy driving days since mid-November than in the last 5 years combined! Now, if I didn’t have to drive in it (to go to work and school) and could admire it from the window and/or go out of my own choosing…I wouldn’t mind.

Pro Snow! I grew up in a warm climate, so snow is still magical to me. As long as I don’t have to drive in it! Although we’ve had much more snow than usual this winter (5 significant snowfalls already when we usually don’t get more than 2) and it’s still January, I could put up with some more. It’s so pretty, the dog loves to play in it, and it means lots of knitting time for me!
Lori said,
January 27, 2009 @ 9:35 am
Definately PRO SNOW here! Growing up, our snow was the sand on the beach. Snow was stuff of legend! If I have to deal with grey and cold I want snow to make it pretty. I have yet to experience a “big” snow and would really like to wake up to over a foot of snow one day.
It’s a great knitting day though.
Love the baby Panda. To cute.
Amy said,
January 27, 2009 @ 11:20 am
Well, it snowed here this morning – I’m pro snow if I don’t have to get out in it, but anti-snow if I do.
And, most of the accountants I know actually do have great senses of humor – I work with a lot of them. Oh, wait, I’m one too… : )
Sue Apple said,
January 27, 2009 @ 11:32 am
I’m pro-snow if I can stay home and knit. No-snow (or cold) if I have to go out into it. And Absolutely NO ICE!!!!! Ice is just way scary – falling and breaking something is one of my biggest fears.
Kathy Sue said,
January 27, 2009 @ 1:07 pm
I think I just learned something. Most knitters love snow because it makes your projects more useful. I was born in the middle of a Spring blizzard. I think watching it snow is amazing. I kind of like the tingle the cold gives my cheeks. I even liked skiing when I was young. But I HATE driving or walking on ice. Just isn’t worth it!
Nope, your accountant does not write like a doctor–I could read every word without effort!!!
btw–I live in Southern California on the coast. Have not seen snow her in 20 years, and that’s fine with me.
Jennifer said,
January 27, 2009 @ 2:08 pm

Jane said,
January 27, 2009 @ 4:22 pm
I think the weatherman was right this time for sure.
I just shoveled about 4 inches of snow from our driveway. The snow started right at the predicted time also. At 6 pm last night it all started here in south county.
Seanna Lea said,
January 27, 2009 @ 4:52 pm
Somewhere along the line I went from pro-snow to meh-snow, and I blame it on running. I just don’t want to run on a treadmill all winter long, so I am constantly hoping for warm enough weather (above 20) with little enough ice and snow to run at least along the side of the road!
Of course, I still am happy for snow especially if it is more than 4-5 inches.
Christel said,
January 27, 2009 @ 8:35 pm
NO SNOW!! I live in Florida. My son and new daughter-in-law have just moved to St. Louis for seminary and I can’t believe they moved in the middle of winter!! They’ve never lived in snow before, seen it only on church ski trips and in their dreams. He
called today and said there was an ice storm. Mom prays a lot. We plan to visit in warmer weather and hope to be able to see The Loopy Ewe!
Jess' Mom said,
January 27, 2009 @ 10:31 pm
You can put me in the NO SNOW category, please! Two weeks ago, the weather man said we’ve already had a total of 88+ inches of snow for this year and on track to have the record broken for the most snow ever. It started in mid-November and hasn’t quit. We were already sick of it and it was hardly the first day of winter! haha…So, anyway, that’s how I feel about it right now. Jess, our daughter who lives in Virginia, asked me if we could see the blades of grass. I said, “No, I don’t think we’ll see any grass until April!”
Love the Mini Mochi sock you did. Beautiful yarn!
I know you love the snow, so I hope you get to enjoy it. Happy Knitting!

Pro-snow! After you get a few years on you – you really appreciate the QUIET of no street noise, the peace of the scenery, and know that it is NOT WORTH it to go out and drive to things you THINK can’t wait until tomorrow. You learn to keep stuff in your pantry and freezer so there is no rush to the grocery panic for milk, bread and gas…
People who live in cold climates – just let go and “go with the flow”…..guess I’ll NEVER be a Ca. or Fla. babe…
Jan said,

I’m with you – if it has to be this cold, we need snow! Yesterday we got our first inch (plus a couple) then covered it with ice! I’m just west of Washington, DC. Later today it’s supposed to rain, which I guess will wash it all away. I hate rain in the cold!

My family spent 8 years in North Dakota and never tired of the snow. We’ve been in Texas for 15 years now, and I have to go to Nebraska every FEBRUARY to visit my in-laws and hope for a dose of the white stuff while we’re there…

NO SNOW
I hate snow so much that we moved to SO California from Pennsylvania two years ago. The first item my husband put in our ‘moving’ yard sale was the snow shovel. Best $5 bucks we ever earned…

No snow! The only good snow is the stuff that falls on the grass. Only the grass, not on sidewalks, driveways and roads and highways. Pretty, yes, but a real pain. I am really not a winter person, Too bad for me, I live in Ohio. N

Here in No. Ca would love to have some of your snow. We need it so badly. Haven’t even been able to go play in the snow. My sister in Louisville said it is bad there. At least you can stay in & knit. Just wanted to let you know I love my Zuma bag. I get lots of complements on it.

No snow for me! I grew up in Buffalo, NY so dealt with snow daily. My last winter there, we had 7 feet of snow between Xmas and New Years- that was it for me!! I live in Maryland now, and we only get a few little snow falls per year. Much better. And the spring comes much sooner, and fall sticks around much later. Perfect for me!

Snow!!! No ice.
And the weather guys here in the greater DC area are the worst. They “predict” the weather for not only metro DC but for as far west as Cumberland way up in the mountains. And we have the ocean, the Bay, and the river throwing in the wet factors. Plus the mountains make things hard too.

No Snow thx. (Thus the move to Arizona.)
I too love your accountant’s notes. What a guy!

A small dusting of snow once a year is nifty, but I wouldn’t want to live where it snows regularly. I’m definitely someone who’d rather fry in summer than freeze in winter.

SNOW. Definitely SNOW. It goes hand in hand with knitting and a cup of hot cocoa:)
We received 4″ of the fluff and then Jack Frost graced us with an ice storm. While it’s very pretty, it’s very slick.
We’re expecting a large snow storm this week. I’m keeping my dpns crossed for this one.
I’m not a summer person at all. After all, one can only take off so much clothing to keep cool whereas one can put on layers of clothing to keep warm:)

The panda video is great – thanks for the link! Have you seen “dramatic chipmunk” (also on YouTube)? It makes me laugh.
I am pro-snow, especially if I don’t have to go anywhere and can sit on the couch with a blanket and tea and my knitting! Seattle has had more snow this year than any other I remember and I have loved it.

The two snowmobiles in my back yard put me firmly into the ‘pro-snow’ group. ;o)
