Knitting in the snow

It snowed again yesterday and it snowed ALL DAY! I woke up to find a gentle dusting and it just kept going and going like the energizer bunny!

Luckily it was a dry snow and easy to shovel! We woke up this morning to find it melting and forming icicles on my bay window.



Just look at that blue sky today!


Hurley, as usual, thinks the entire outside has turned into his own personal snow cone and just eats and walks all around.



Bailey doesn't eat the snow - he actually tries to stay on the shoveled areas!



Since I was snowed in - I decided it was a perfect time to cast on for a new project! I grabbed some Handmaiden Sea Silk and cast on for Kernel from Knitty.



This is the first time I've ever put beads in my knitting and I have to say it's pretty cool! I may have to do this more often :)


This picture of my knitting is the last picure for January in my Project 365. I finished a complete month!!



I'm both excited and surprised that I was able to keep it up. I'm posting pictures on flickr and on this cool site called 365Project.

Breaking News!! (and a new knitty)

The new Knitty is out! Go look!!

My favorites are two of the sock patterns:

Sweetpea

and Coupling -

I just love the description of "coupling" too...

"A 2006 poll commissioned by McGregor Socks revealed an interesting tidbit: East Coast Canadians are more likely than anyone else in the country to leave our socks on while, um, coupling."
I'll definitely be making these.

Aside from the socks...
I also like Unmentionables - cute - but I dont think I would wear it!

and
Wisp is so soft and luscious looking.

Zodiac is cute too and there are lots of friends with little ones coming that I could make this for.

Chapeau Marnier also caught my eye. I'm not normally a hat person - but this is so cute!

And oh yeah....the breaking news is actually that I bought a wheel....
The Majacraft Suzie Pro!!


Woot!!!
