This morning when I woke up, the world was a cleaner shade of white. Yes, that is correct. It snowed. I know that after 30 years of living in Wisconsin, I should be used to this wonderful thing we call winter. But honestly, it doesn't get any better and I don't like anymore. However, one thing that always amazes me is the delicate and complicated appearance of a snowflake.
Snowflakes are an amazing creation. Each one completely different from the next and a complex design. How can they be so delicate and......perfect? I have to say, for all of my pessimism, I love it when I look out the window and I feel like I am in a snow globe. I am sure you understand...........
Anyway, what has been going on?
1. I have all but 14 blocks for the afghan with the ends sown in. That was a big accomplishment. I brought them with me to the lake, hopefully, I can finish that up this weekend (inbetween sewing that has been requested by me of my mother.)
2. I was at the point on the fancy foot anklet to start the heel. And low and behold, I don't have the 34 stitches I needed for the instep. How can you start with 30 stitches, do your necessary increases on the left and right sides to get 34 stitches but end up with only 25 stitches? Needless to say, I had to rip it, rip it.......I hate frogs.
3. Peaches and cream blanket.......I am about 2 inches into the decrease part of the pattern and it is going quite smoothly. (I hope I didn't speak to soon....)
Anyway, other than my boyfriend thinking that it would be funny to say he purchased enough green and yellow yarn to knit him a Packer blanket, not too much has been going on. Just sitting here knitting. Or in this case, blogging.
Take time to enjoy your snowglobe
