santa & the snow






Santa (among many others)
had hoped for Christmas in Montreal
to be white.
It was not.



Above, Santa
and the Knitting Companion wait
for snow ....
and then, just after Christmas day,
Montreal did have some snow.




Now, a week into the new year,
and sadly the snow is gone again.
This is not Normal for Montreal-in Winter.
We're all Waiting. January is supposed
to be full of Snow.


Snow !
Now, i wonder if i can find something
to console me, something nice ....
perhaps a new meringue ?

We have had your snow - would you like some wind/snow/rain?
I did not find it easy to choose the yarn for my Not So Warm coat. I cannot wear a lot of wools, and usually our climate in winter would call for vulcanized rubber, but I am counting on this coat for spring/fall and it is Paton's Katrina, which is a rayon/polyester mix. I have cast on, but instead of the 72 stitches called for, I cast on 60, as I am a few yards short, since I needed 5.0 mm needles to get gauge and it was knit on 3.75 mm needles. Katrina has been discontinued! Good Luck with yarn choosing. Montreal should have some great LYSs. We have two here and our population, including outlying areas, is about 60,000!
