This is not the part of the country
where we want
Balmy weather in December.
Today is not balmy, by any means, but
we had drizzle and rain this morning.
All the snow is gone.
It's terribly sad.
Below you'll see a photo i
snapped at this time in 2004.
This is the type of
weather we want in December.
Snow ! and then the next day: sunny!
Especially snow in December! who
can think of Christmas shopping
without being surrounded by snow?
ok, i'm not contagious,
but i can't wait to feel better.
Here's a nice view of the
Knitting Companion
to make a happy (& fuzzy) view.
I've got a ton of work to finish by this week.
(i'm sure one day i'll
stop feeling so sick & rotten. Right ? )
Maybe tonight the Companion
and i will have some soup &
then have some knitting time.
And just in case you were
wondering:
No Improvement on the
workability of my
bathroom sink. I have
to break down & call
for professionals.
Yikes.
No exciting developments
on the Mansocks...
(if you can be
excited about socks that is)
but there was a bit of
knitting finished up
while i was (mostly)
motionless with bronchitis.
Photos to follow
later in the week.
In the meantime,
i have a bathroom sink that is
clogged to the point of being unusable.
What's in it?
Leaves. (yes, leaves and they're rotting.)
To my knowledge
there have never
been Leaves (yes, Actual leaves)
in my bathroom.
The scary part is that this
sounds like
there is a problem.
A big problem.
Some projects
commence
& their momentum flows.
Others .... are more relaxed.
Here you can see a Mansock.
There is even a nice little cable
running up one side of the sock.
I shot these photos on a brief
trip to the Laurentian Mountains
in September.
This weekend, i've just
cast on the second sock of the pair.
Hopefully, the second sock will
actually see completion some time in
the next month.
After all, it's certainly Sock Weather
here in Canada.
Albert Einstein said: "One of the
strongest motives that lead
to art and science
is escape from everyday life
with its painful crudity and
hopeless dreariness."
