Brutus Update

Isn't that name hilarious? No it's not the name of my latest knitting project. It's what the people at the Weather Network decided to call this snow storm.

Honestly, Brutus is a good name...

We easily got about 2 feet since Friday morning. It's still snowing... Thank goodness for tomorrow off.

If you are venturing out today in the snow to Remembrance Day ceremonies go slow, be safe. If you're like me and shoveling snow is about as far as you'll get... take a moment to pause and remember...

To poke my eyes out or not to poke my eyes out?

That is the question...

Why do I always think knitting a guys hat in 1x1 rib is fun? It's not. It's seriously draining the life right out of me...

On the flip side...

This hat is gonna rock!

Stash Inspiration

This weekend I went through some of my stash trying to figure out ways to use up odds and ends. I never seem to run out of those tiny bits of yarn... I pulled all my sock yarn together in hopes of casting on a scrappy pair of socks. The scraps almost fill a small lululemon bag. When it's full I'll be cranking out a few pairs of scrappy patchwork socks.

Meanwhile, I was left with 9 little balls that don't have nylon in them and are too soft/silky for socks. What to use them for?

Thank goodness for Ravelry! I went hunting and found Susan B. Anderson's Happily Ever After Mitts pattern. I made a pair a few years ago for the Superstar and its a fun free pattern.

I got knitting and finished the first one yesterday. I'm about halfway through the second as well. I'll be faced with an evenings worth of weaving in ends when the knitting's done... thankfully I don't mind so much.
