Okay. Feeling a little sheepish. Most of y’all have it COLD! I don’t know how you do it. And Ann, that’s HORRIBLE about your dishsoap. I would freak out, really. I would. Of course, my apartment is the size of a postage stamp, perhaps 250-300 square feet, so it takes about ten minutes of running the heater to overheat the place. And I like a nice chill in the air while I sleep. But I suppose when snow surrounds your house, the romance of it costs a lot less than the heating bills, no?
Oh, but to knit and look at snow outside. The jealousy. (I sure love to look at the snow pics on all the different sites – the feeling of Oh! That’s what my friend sees! That’s so cool!)
Finished Olallieberry last night, and I just have to go out and buy a zipper. I am wildly busy all day today, this my last day off before I leave to go HFTH* on Tuesday. AND I’m still intent on fitting a yarn run in this afternoon between laundry and going to the City to knit (Joanna’s coming, too)! Must have more of that warm Paton’s Merino goodness. I think I might design something myself, a cabled cardie that ISN’T CROPPED. Lord, I’m not a belly-barer. Even my tee shirts like a little cover-up. You know?
Oh, and for Mooky:
Digit next to and Adah underneath the heater.
*Home for the holidays…. (Joanna guessed it in my comments before I even realized I forgot to footnote. I shoud just stick to parentheses.)
HFTH = home for the holidays?
I’m so looking forward to tonight; I haven’t knit with other people in a while. It was tough deciding which project to bring with me, though: the sock that I desperately want to finish so my toes can be warm, and is simple so I can talk while knitting it; or the lace shawl that will impress everyone with my mad skillz, but which I’m not sure I can work on while also holding a conversation.
So I’m bringing both.
Yay! Thanks, Rachael! I’m going to e-mail Marlo (Mooky’s foster parent) and get her to open your site and hold the Mook up to the screen so he can see Adah and Digit. 🙂 xo
