Snow Day!

Wowee, we got some SNOW up here in Philomath, OR! Inches and inches and it just kept falling out of the sky. I luckily didn't have to work yesterday, though my hubs had to drive to Eugene and back on the treacherous roads. As for Pocket, she mostly just played around.

The drought is still threatening the other side of our lovely state... so cross your fingers for some 'better late than never' snow pack in the mountains.

Handmade Holidays #5: REVEALED!

Handmade Holidays #5 was another fuzzy project... could you guess what i knit for my step-mama?

Using handspun "bunny fur" (a blend of angora rabbit and a few other super soft sheep) i knitted her a scarf. The scarf i wear is a lovely cashmere woven scarf, gifted from mama #2, so i felt it fitting to make a scarf for her to enjoy. My dad tried to steal it, so perhaps next year he'll get one of his own. Pocket also had a good time modelling for me, though i dare say it's a bit big on her.

I'm currently working on a scarf for my hubs using a similar pattern. This scarf is a simple knit2 purl2, and the scarf i'm working on now is a stretchier and more 'manly' looking knit3 purl3.

Are you working on any post-holiday knitting projects?
